Our Mentors are an important part of our Team 701 Family. Without their time and support, we would not have the skills, experience, and memories we will have for the rest of our life.

Mr. Green

Mr. Green is our head coach and has lead Team 701 at Vanden High School since it's introduction in 2000. He is also the only Physics teacher at Vanden High School and always finds ways to combine both Robotics and Physics in exciting ways. Through his teachings, students have learned aspects of science, engineering, and technology, as well as leadership and project management. These are skills that Mr. Green instills in our Robovikes for a lifetime.

Mr. Murphy

Mr. Murphy has been our Programming Advisor since 2005. He works for Silvertail Systems and his skill in programming helps us out alot. He is also currently our RPM treasurer. (He is the one on the right).

Mr. Smith

Mr. Smith has been with us for six years. His specialty is carbon fiber which helped us win the Driving Tommorow's Technology in 2007 @ Davis. Ever since then, we've had carbon fiber elements on all of our robots. You could call him our "carbon fiber coach".

Mr. Crusoe

Mr. Crusoe has been with us for two years but has become one of our team's greatest resources. He is our personal Ace Hardware shopper, and an ace at booking flights and hotels for our competitions. He is currently our RPM President.

Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe has been with us since the team started. He doesn't play a huge role in the team but he helps with the small parts of fabricating the robot. Mr. Poe helps with our inventor team , welding, and keeps our animatiors on track. Mr. Poe is the go-to guy when you need help with the computers.
