Welcome to FIRST Robotics Team 1279

Welcome

Welcome to the website of Cold Fusion! Cold Fusion is the FIRST robotics team of Immaculata High School in Somerville, New Jersey. Our team constructs functioning robots to compete against the best of the best in competitions organized by FIRST. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit organization designed to encourage students to advance their talents in academics, science, and engineering while also growing socially. Cold Fusion is registered as FIRST Team 1279. We hope you enjoy our website and are inspired by our mission. More information about FIRST can be found at www.usfirst.org.

Our Mission

The mission of the Cold Fusion robotics team is to design, construct, and program an operational robot to the specifications set forth by the FIRST organization. The robot will execute certain tasks that will enable it to play the game in the FIRST competitions. These activities will provide an opportunity for students of diverse academic and technical capabilities to utilize their talents and work together as one team. This team will learn to overcome a range of challenges in order to produce one final product: a successful robot. To make this a reality, the team will develop profitable marketing strategies, including publicity and fundraising.

Our History

In 2004 season, Immaculata High School established  FIRST Robotics Team 1279 “Cold Fusion” under the guidance of Marika Foreman, the school’s Physics and Science teacher.  In the previous year several students participated on the Manville, NJ Team 1048 “Mustang Robotics”.  The experience was so positive that by the next year, Cold Fusion had acquired a total of 48 energized members who were all eager to compete. During the 2004 season, the members expanded their knowledge and enhanced themselves by observing the positives and negatives of the other teams. The students learned about gears, various mechanical parts and wiring. In 2004, the success of the  season was not measured by wins, but by determination.  The judges at the New Jersey Regional awarded us with the Rookie Inspiration award for being a model rookie team.
