Clay VanOphem

Class of 2021

Year joined the team: 2018

Sub-Teams: CAD

What are 2 fun facts about you?

I have a twin on the team and few people on the team can tell us apart so far.
I love cars.

Why did you join the AdamBots?

To learn more about engineering and apply it.

What is your favorite team memory?

I loved when drive team made our 2019 bot literally take flight onto the 2nd level of the HAB.

What have you learned from being on the team?

I’ve learned how to take a part from an idea, to a CAD model, and then to make it into a real part that goes to competition.

What is special about FIRST or what are you looking forward to this year in FIRST? 

FIRST is special in how much it really has the students learning about engineering and in a way that most high schools really cannot offer. I’m looking forward to seeing the robot when it is fully operational.
