Mt. San Antonio College Society of Physics Students (SPS) is an Associated Students recognized club and chapter of the national Society of Physics Students organization, which promotes an accelerated learning environment for the pursuit of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). We're not exclusive to those fields, however, and we encourage members of all backgrounds to try their hand at what we do; prominent past members have come from pre-pharmacy and even fine art disciplines.
Over the past six years, SPS has flourished under the tutelage of our dedicated advisers and highly motivated students to become the award-winning team that it is today through its two components: SPS Research and Center of Robotics Engineering (C.O.R.E.)
C.O.R.E. is all about robots. There's our nationally-competitive VEX Robotics team (which hangs out in the room we visited today), Team RoboMagellan(autonomous land-based navigation robot, RoboSub (autonomous underwater-challenge robot) and various others, depending on the skills and motivation of our members (FireBot, RoboMouse, SumoBot, etc.). Most of the members in C.O.R.E. begin in VEX and "graduate" to the specialized teams, like RoboSub and RoboMagellan, via invitation from our adviser, Professor Mason.
VEX Team meetings are held in bldg 61-3312 every Friday at 11:00am, but they're usually there from 9:00am until about 4:00pm. The room is also available throughout the week.
