Mission Statement

Our team has been thriving and growing since its inception in 2011. We first competed in FIRST Lego League (FLL) with a team of 6 elementary school students. We now have team members ranging from high school students to college students, who come from schools all around the United States to compete in a variety of competitions. To further embrace our mission and promote an interest in STEM, we have conducted outreach efforts in 6 continents (North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia).

Through hard work and dedication, we have won many awards, including the IEEE Innovation Award.  We have also had the privilege of speaking at professional conferences, including the INCOSE and OCEANS conferences. We even competed in the FIRST World Championship in 2017, 2018, and qualified in 2020 which was canceled due the pandemic. In 2020, we became the first middle/high school team that ever won the world title in RoboSub's 23 years of history. We are the first RobotX team with high school students.

Our team meets year-round so that we can participate in various robotics competitions. When we are not competing, we cross-train current members in multiple areas of disciplines and train new members in the basics of robotics and programming. In addition to teaching our own team, we also teach others through extensive local and international outreach efforts.

​Our team is incredibly ambitious and sets our goals high. We aim to compete at the FIRST World Championship, RoboSub, and RobotX with fully functioning unmanned surface vehicle and unmanned aerial vehicle. Our coaches and mentors encourage us to strive toward our goals but our team knows that even if we don’t make it, what we learn is more important than what we win. 

The main goal for our team is to learn about robotics and to compete so that we push ourselves to be even better. We want to share our knowledge as it builds our understanding of the subjects we have learned. We share our resources because we want everyone to be able to learn robotics. We innovate to expand our knowledge and the ideas of what is possible. We inspire others to do robotics because it is fun, interesting, and useful.
