About Us
We are a passionate and dedicated robotics team that competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition. Our team's mission is to inspire and educate students' minds about the exciting world of STEM, engineering, and communications.
With a strong focus on innovation and teamwork, we strive to push the boundaries of what is possible each year in our competitions and community. Our mentors create strong relationships with students as they learn about a variety of topics that will help them build their powerful futures.

What is FIRST?
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international high school robotics competition. Each year, teams of high school students, coaches, and mentors work during a six-week period to build robots capable of competing in that year's game. The game, along with the required set of tasks, changes annually. The culture of FIRST Robotics Competition is built around two values: "Gracious Professionalism" and "Coopertition." The goal of this program is to inspire students to be science and technology leaders.

Learn About Our Robots
Maestro
Maestro is our most current robot and features major improvements to its general capabilities compared to its predecessor, Continuity. With improved swerve modules, wiring, and a Vision system for autonomous driving, Maestro is our most state of the art robot to date. It was built for the FIRST 2024 CRESCENDO competiton where it pick up rings and shoots them into a target with a hood along with climbing on a chain during endgame.
Continuity
Continuity was created for the 2023 FIRST game Charged Up! It features an impressive double stage elevator that can expand to 8 ft. It places purple cubes and yellow cones over poles and shelves. It took us to the FIRST world championship in Houston Texas, marking the first time our team has been there.
The Complex Machine
The Complex Machine was built for the Rapid React completion which involves shooting oversize tennis balls to a 10ft goal and climbing 7ft monkey bars. This is one of our most intricate robots built to date. Stemming from the inner and outer climbing system that can transverse to the top bar using the robots center of gravity. Along with the climbing system there was a speedy and powerful shooting system.
Boohickey
Despite the challenges of COVID-19, our team decided to create a new robot for the 2021 season that complemented Anklebiter. It accomplishes all of the same tasks as Anklebiter, but each in a different unique way.
Anklebiter
Anklebiter was built for the Infinite Recharge competition which involved shooting power-cells, dodge-ball sized yellow balls, and climbing onto a swinging bar during endgame. This robot would of made it to the world championship if COVID-19 wasn't a problem.
Odyssey
For the 2019 competition season, Deep Space, our team used CAD for the first time when designing the robot. This allowed us to build a much more complex and robust robot that won the Industrial Design Award. The competition involved placing cargo (orange kickballs) and hatch panels (large round discs) onto rockets to get ready for takeoff, and climbing up a large step at the end.
