Our Mission

“To build competitive robots and teach students the science behind the machine.”

“To build competitive robots and teach students the science behind the machine.”

Our mission is to provide high school students with an opportunity to apply science, technology, engineering  art, and mathematics (STEAM) in both introductory and advanced levels of robotics. We accomplish this goal by participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), where students work with adult mentors each year to build competitive robots suited for a specific theme.

Team Divisions

Developing the robot is a difficult task so before build season starts, our team splits into different groups based on member skills. Each division has a student lead to guide incoming members and get them acquainted with tasks and projects. The major divisions of the team are software & control systems, electrical, field elements, machining, and design.
