Our Team

Our Story

Like rubbing a matchstick to a matchbox, our team was constructed instantly when a robotics student and mentor reached out to others in hopes of participating in the FIRST Tech Challenge. Though our initial stages were centered primarily online, our first meeting was hosted in July of 2022. Since then, It has been our team's passion to think, innovate, automate, test, and - most importantly - enjoy the wonders of robotics.

A team with ambition is one that is constantly striving to improve its performance in FIRST competitions. Our team is always looking for new ways to win and seeks to improve its skills. We are never satisfied with just being good, instead, we strive to be the best.
