Formed in 2011, Ragnarok Robotics is Mt. Hebron High School’s team focused on the Varsity Sport for the Mind located in Ellicott City, Maryland. Hebron Vikings, and in the spirit of competition, we take our name from Norse mythology, in which the Ragnarok is the name for the last great conflict between the gods and the forces of evil. Our team achieved early success, winning the “Rookie All-Star A
ward” at the Chesapeake Regional tournament, which afforded us the privilege of participating in the FIRST World Championship in St. Louis, MO, affectionately known as “The Super Bowl of Smarts” in 2011. Our mission ever since our rookie year has been to make it back to the World Championship on the strength of our technical skills and competition play. We are continuously learning the techniques and strategies it takes to win. Learning from the best practices of our amazing peers on other teams, we have deliberately organized our budget and fundraising efforts in a way that will help us ensure that we have the best chance of achieving our goals. Our platinum sponsors, Motorola Solutions and Department of Education of Maryland, are just as excited about the opportunities ahead of us. All year long, we are learning the engineering process first hand, collaborating with engineers and other professionals on our mentor team, defining our strategy for the season, recruiting new team members, and training each other on how to build and program great robots. We look forward to having your support as we pursue our goal of competing at the District Championship each year. Go, Ragnarok Robotics!
