Team 199's Current Brand Logo
Team 199: Deep Blue Robotics was created to support Carlmont High School Students and allow them to continue their in-depth STEM education.

In 2003, students at Carlmont High School in Belmont, CA joined forces with Woodside High School’s FRC Team 100, pooling resources to build a competitive strong robotics team. However, in 2015, Woodside's program was so successful that it was suggested we create a second team at Carlmont, therefore reverting the team back to its original 1995 configuration.

Many Carlmont students from Team 100 wanted a way to continue their involvement in a strong FRC team, and opted to create their own program. The students currently on Team 199 are highly motivated, and have worked hard to quickly build an incredible FRC team from scratch. The students of Carlmont High School currently face the challenge of creating a shop with limited funding, as Carlmont’s administration has indicated that it cannot supply the team with any funds. Therefore, we are actively searching for corporate sponsors and personal donors. As well as securing funding, we are also searching for team mentors to teach and guide the students of the team as they tackle the challenges inherent in building a complex robot in just six weeks.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Carlmont Robotics FRC team is to provide an opportunity for students to learn engineering, project management, and community relations skills in an environment that is fun, yet competitive and challenging at times in order to simulate real world situations and prepare our students for real-world projects.

Team History

From January 2016 to Feburary 2016, Team 199 participated in the FIRST FRC 2016 Season, in which teams all across the US and around the world had six weeks to build a robot for the 2016 game, FIRST Stronghold. Team 199 competed at Silicon Valley Regional.

Prior to 2015, Carlmont students share history with Team 100, a team based out of Woodside High School. For information on their robots and history, please see Team 100's web site.

Eric Liu

Eric Liu is a dank memer who is part doggo, part troll, and part Eric. He is considered to be the CAD lead on the robotics team. Some call him "El Capitan," or "The Captain of this Ship," but we all know that he just runs the wiki page. No one knows Eric's origin. Some say that he came from a family of nobility whose name was dishonored by the actions committed by his brother and now is on the road to redemption to redeem his family name (by doing robotics). Others say that Eric was once a young boy, growing up in Queens whose only way to success was freedom. So he rapped his way out poverty for him and his daughter, by rapping about how awesome his mom's spaghetti was. But Eric's true origin lies in the depths of Mr. Talcott's closet (full of food). In there is the document which shares with us where Eric truly came from. He grew up in a rich family, loved dearly by both his mother and his father, both of which were the names of Belmont. But one night, on his way home from the movies, he experienced a tragedy that would scar him for life. His mother and father were both robbed and shot, leaving poor Eric alone to sulk in his losses. From that day on, he swore to protect those who couldn't protect themselves and to fight those who would bring harm to his city. He would not become the hero that this city needed, but he would become the hero that this city deserved. He would become the CAD lead for Deep Blue Robotics Team 199.
