Welcome to the home
of FIRST Robotics "Team 816"!
As a FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of
Science and Technology) robotics team, we compete each
year with hundreds of teams from around the world.
Beginning in January, all teams are given six weeks to
build a robot that will outperform their competitors
while staying within strict guidelines. The FIRST
program teaches students valuable skills necessary for
success, as well as helping others. The competitive
nature of FIRST drives students to work together as a
team to build the best robot, thereby instilling
teamwork values and improving self-confidence. Through a
system known as "gracious professionalism", teams are
urged to offer assistance to others, as well as respect
everyone involved with the program.

“ …to create a world where
science and technology are celebrated….
where young people dream of
becoming science and technology heroes….”
Dean Kamen,
FIRST
Founder

Safety is a number one priority in all that we
do.
Students will promote the TEAM and FIRST ideals through their
actions.
Students will have ownership of the robot
(design, build, & competition). A special
thanks to Anthony Hoffman for his help in
getting
this off the ground! |
