Lunar Landroids

A Moonbots Challenge team

Team

Lunar Landroids, aka the Landroids, is a 3rd-year FIRST LEGO League robotics team from Livingston, New Jersey, also the founder team of Livingston Robotics Club. We are a group of 8th grade neighborhood friends who participate in various science and robotics challenges, and community outreach. We have known each other since kindergarten, spent a lot of time learning, snacking and playing together.

(Lunar) Landroids Members
	Stanley Age: 14 (Script Editing & Programming) This is my third season in FLL, hanging out with my friends. I like to play video games, participate in chess games, and figure out how things work. I also play violin and like to go biking. This school year, I participated in many running events. My specialty in the team is to strategize robot missions, understand all the rules, and debugging the programs. I also take care of the backup robot programming in NXT-G or RobotC, alternate strategies, and electronic prototypes. My slogan is “Innovation is created by limitation”.

	Jeffrey Age: 13 (Documentation & Video Essay)
	I like watching sports such as baseball and keeping active. At school, my favorite subjects are English and History. Outside of school, I enjoy listening to music and socializing with friends. When I’m free, I play with my Xbox 360, and play basketball with my friends. Athletically, I play tennis and swim competitively (spending most of my non-school time in the pool). I have also been playing the violin and piano for 6 ½ years. My specialty in the team is documenting the team progress and compiling the video essay.

	Gage Age: 14 (Graphics Rendering, LEGO Digital Designer)
	I love science and math. I am good with public speaking, making PowerPoint, editing in Photoshop and prepare graphics presentation. My focus within the team is LEGO Digital Design, and any graphics renderings and video images. I am currently learning Chinese (not that we speak Chinese on the team, but at least I understand it). When I grow up, I hope to be an architect.

	Brian Age: 14 (Sensors & Programming)
	I like learning about science and math-related subjects, I can program in NXT-G, but best with RobotC, and I am currently learning LabView and Java. I play cello in the NJ Youth Orchestra and the NJ All State Intermediate Orchestra. I also like to play tennis in my spare time. In the future, I would like to be in a science-related field.

	Karlin Age: 14 (Lead Robot Designer & Programmer)
	I love science and enjoy intricate and challenging building projects, and come up with innovative solutions. I can program in RoboLab, NXT-G, RobotC and now learning LabView and Java. In 2010, I have started to mentor a FTC team, helping out in robot construction and protoboard design. I mostly enjoy water sports such as windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, racing my OpenBic sailboat and kayaking. I also like archery, reading, mountain biking (built my own bike), downhill skiing and spend a lot of time breeding fish (or killing them). In the future, I would probably like to be in ocean or marine science types of engineering fields.

	John Yeh Age: way over 18 (Team Captain)
	Landroids robotics coach, aka “Sifu Yeh”, the biggest kid in the bunch. I am a computer engineer in hardware design. Love to work with my hands tinkering with things (even if they are not broken).
