About Us
We are aFIRSTrobotics team working to promote science and technology not only in our school but also in our community. From our inception in 2003, we have grown immensely over the past 20 years gaining national recognition for our hard work and accomplishments. In addition, we are the proud winners of four Connecticut regionals as well as winners of many community outreach awards.
Each January, we kickoff our season by learning a "game" for a robot to play set forth by an organization calledFIRST. Then we have six weeks (known as build season) to plan, build, and program a robot for our team. We learn, problem solve, and push through many challenges and hurdles to finish our robot and make it ready for competition.
