We Are Family!

The Robotics program, started by Eileen Kahn, has existed for six years at BHHS. Originally a small group of students, the robotics team has grown to be a family, both in the figurative and literal sense. Figuratively speaking, the team is an incredibly tight- knit group of students and mentors. While familiarity may usually breed contempt, this is certainly not the case with the members of the Robotics team-they spend hours, days, and weeks on end in each other's company, working together towards a common goal, growing closer in the face of obstacles rather than taking the well-trodden path of bickering amongst themselves.

On the other hand, MorTorq has, over the years, become a literal family as well-like a legacy being passed down from sibling to sibling, membership of the Robotics team has become traditional in some families. The Dhillons, Kahns, Kerns, Martins, Phillips, Strombergs, and Zhangs are examples of this-siblings of each family have been and are members of the Robotics team.

Not only do many siblings join Robotics, but the parents of students on the Robotics team also never hesitate to show their support for the team. From tirelessly driving their children to and from meetings to supplying the team with munchies (keep in mind the infamous teenage appetite), parents are a vital part of the Robotics family as well.
