Ellipse 6814 Mission Statement
Our Team
Ellipse 6814 was started in 2017 by student Bryce Hanson and teacher Ramsey Musallam. We started with
just one student, and now have a sizable team with 43 members. Our team name, Ellipse, is meant to
represent timelessness. An ellipse is the shape that is created by the moon orbiting around the earth,
and we wanted our logo to represent this by encapsulating that shape along with the display of our name
and team number. Our current team is the very first robotics team to be represented at Sonoma Academy,
and we want to be able to continue this team for years to come.
We welcome all individuals with different robotic backgrounds, from students who live and breathe
robotics to beginner students who simply want to learn more about the world of robotics. We have team
members from all grade levels, and have divided the group into multiple subdivisions in order to to
increase productivity. These subdivisions include: Fabrication, Actuation, Programming, Electronics,
Treasury, and Communications.
