FIRST Robotics Competition Team

Elise Spontarelli - September 18, 2025

The team is back for a second season of engineering competition! After winning a Rookie All-Star Award in their first season, these teens are back for more: this year with the goal of building better, driving harder, and placing higher.

Applications are now open to new students for the 2026 FIRST Robotics Competition season. In the words of FIRST, this is the ultimate sport of the mind.

Under strict rules and limited time and resources, teams of high school students are challenged to build industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game in alliance with other teams, while also fundraising to meet their goals, designing a team “brand,” and advancing respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.
