FIRST Robotics Competition
We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.” Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.
FRC Teams We Helped Create
William Tennent Robotics
Team 6808
In the 2017 season, students from William Tennent High School joined our team for a season to gain first-hand knowledge of FRC. In the 2018 season, William Tennent started their own team, 6808. We believe there is no better way to teach what it means to be an FRC team than on-site experience. By mentoring these students, they were better equipped to start an FRC team and develop the skills they needed to be successful in FIRST and beyond. We look forward to doing this again.
