Coach Diana Simpson – Head Coach

Coach Simpson started coaching Robotics when a group of Freshmen asked about the FIRST Tech Challenge competition many years ago. That group has long since graduated, but our Robotics team continues with new members each year. Interactions with the students outside of the normal classroom are fun and bringing the joy of science and the ability to “think outside of the box” makes it all worthwhile. In her other life, she teaches high school and college Chemistry, Environmental and Engineering courses.

Coach Nate Rogers – Programming and Construction Coach

Coach Rogers has been involved with Seton Robotics for the past six years. He has helped to create dozens of robots for FTC competitions and other local robotics competitions. He enjoys teaching, building robots, problem-solving, and teaching young engineers how to “think outside of the box”. By day he is a senior software engineer and consultant working for companies ranging from the gaming world to the medical industry.

Caden Eldred – Builder

This is my 5th year of robotics at SCCHS, and this is my first time attending FTC. At home, I do graphic designing and painting for hobbies. I also am an animal photographer and hiker. I enjoy building and constructing things. I’m planning on going to college to be an architect or a mechanical engineer. I am Catholic and I go to OLS church and have been on multiple trips to NYC, Washington DC, and Niagara Falls with them.

I am 17 and a long-term 5-year member of Saints Robotics. This is my 4th year competing and participating in FIRST Robotics in New York. In my personal life, I am an acolyte for the Owego United Methodist Church, and before COVID-19 a volunteer for Kopernic Observatory. Some of my proudest moments and achievements have been giving a speech in front of 1,600 people and having the opportunity to hold a Moon Rock encased in glass. In the future, I plan on going to college and making a career in the engineering field.
