    Hello! I am the founding president of Beach High’s FIRST Robotics team 7652 - RIOT. My job is to organize and lead the team throughout our Build Season, Off-season assignments, community projects, and competitions as our Captain. I hope to lead this team on a road to greatness!

    Build Officer

    David Tamen

    Hi, my name is David Tamen and I am the Build Officer which means I am very hands-on in the construction and engineering of the robot, working closely with the Design Officer and Programming/Electrical Officer. I will also be leading our school’s VEX Robotics team.  

    Programming/Electrical Officer

    Diego Marques

    Hey, my name is Diego Marques and I am the Programming and Electrical Officer for team 7652 RIOT. I have a background in coding and am interested in teaching it to our programming division. Through the programming and wiring of the robot, I am able to work with the other officers in order to make a functioning robot capable of competing in the First Robotics Competition!

    Design Officer

    Julius Goldberg

    Hola from the Design Officer. I’m Julius Goldberg, a 6’3 Korean-American sophomore at Beach High. I’m a dedicated, responsible, and (I’d say) relatively patient guy. It’s my first year on the job and it’s been loads of work… and fun too. I’ve created 2D and 3D blueprints for some of the club’s competitions (mainly FRC) and side projects. I got to work closely and communicate with other technical groups, especially during FRC season.  

    Youth Outreach Officer

    Jaden Egan

    HEY YOU! YAH YOU! My name is Jaden Egan, and I am the Youth Officer for team RIOT! My goal for this year is to grab the interests of young minds mainly from Middle school so they can experience the fun, and exciting aspects of first robotics when they get into highschool. I also plan to institute the ideas of other robotics related competitions, so that these students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade can experience their first competition before entering High school. I’m thrilled to be this year’s Youth Officer and am very happy to see our team grow.

    Outreach Officer/Historian

    Louis Dryfoos

    Hey! My Name is Louis Dryfoos. I am the Outreach Officer and Historian. My main job this season has been making the logo and creating our online platforms, such as our YouTube, Twitter, and the website you’re reading right now. Along with this, I spent a lot of time working on the electronics of our robot. I’m excited to see where we’ll go as a team!

    Treasurer

    Liam Berko

    My name is Liam Berko, I am the club/team treasurer. Although I’m not into the construction and technical parts of the team, I still want to make our team a success; so I am responsible for funding our team, keeping up with sponsors, and making sure our club inventory is organized.

    Secretary

    Kiara Finlinson

    Hello, My name is Kiara Finlinson. As secretary, I’m in charge of recording all of the meetings and recording the attendance. Also, I’m helping to create a digital record by creating videos for our robotics team. I am new to robotics but I am excited as I gain new friends, and learn new things everyday! I’m excited for next year and can not wait to see what our team can accomplish!
