Habitat Houses in the United States and Canada are modestly sized by North American standards.  Trained staff supervises house construction with volunteers and partner families contributing most of the labor. Combined with a no-profit, no-interest mortgage,these factors make Habitat houses affordable to low-income families. 

This past summer 2006, Kell High Students joined with General Electric employees build a house in Atlanta. This is being repeated in the summer of 2007.

The Kell Robotics TEAM #1311 won the prestigious FIRST Chairman's Award at the Peachtree Regional March 17, 2007. Prior winners include our good friends and rivals at Wheeler High School, TEAM #1002. Thanks for your support, everyone, everywhere. This award isn't about robots, but overall team effort to impact the community by changing our culture and educational motivation.

The 2nd award won by the team is the Underwriters Laboratories Industrial Safety Award for it's performance duing the competition and its global safety educational outreach effort.

The 3rd award was for our 2nd place finish as a regional finalist. The team survived all the seeding matches, quarterfinals, semifinals, only to lose in the final round of competition. The regional finalist award recognizes the teams that make it to the finals.

The Kell robot holds the event record of the only robot that earned 60 points supporting 2 robots in the endgame.

We did it. Here it is, the 2007 Robot ready to ship. It doesn't pick up and hang tubes, but it makes a great platform. 

In April 2006 we took a field trip to the Georgia Dome and the Georgia World Congress Center to visit the international Championship Event. There were nearly 500 teams from about 16 countries visiting Atlanta that week. We took a team comprised of some current members and an group of "members for a day". We spent part of the morning goofing off, then we did our electrical safety effort. We met individually with 344 FRC teams to help them address an electrical safety issues. Then we had lunch at CNN Center and returned to the Dome. Here are a few pictures.

During the 2006 season we had to build a basketball playing robot. It could pickup and shoot 7 inch foam basketballs from half court. It didn't drive so well but it could shoot great. Here are some pictures.
