The Robotic Conspiracy team has both technical and non-technical roles. If you don't like robots, coding, or math? That's ok! We have roles for non-techie students which are just as fun!
There is no cost to join. All you need to buy is a school ASB card each September from the school office. Everything else is provided!
You are highly encouraged to join soon so you don't miss out!
This is a year-round program. After competition season is over, we meet regularly to grow our skills and promote the team.
You'll be glad you joined!
Student members must meet the following requirements when they register to join:
Be age 13 or over and under 18 year old by the start of the school year.
You must live within the Northshore School District boundaries.
Current student status is one of the following:
A) Enrolled at Innovation Lab High School
B) A home school student
C) Enrolled at a private school without an FTC robotics team
Team capacity is limited to 15 students. Register to join ONLY IF you meet the above requirements and space is available.
Parents must complete online registration AFTER the previous season ends mid June.
Note: Don't register too early and be required to repeat the process.
If your child is eligible (see above) and interested in joining the team, follow these steps.
Parents must confirm eligibility by contacting the coach by email at ftc28139@gmail.com. Provide the child's name, current age, and the school they'll be attending. If the child attends a homeschool or a private school, provide address of residence so I can confirm you live within the boundaries of the Northshore School District.
If child is eligible, you will receive a link to the handbook. Please review, sign, and email the signed page to the coach. Only then should you continue to step 2.
The FTC program is run by FIRST Inspires. After mid June, they open registration for the upcoming season. The team's registration window closes when the team has reached capacity or the coach finalizes the roster.
To register, wait until the registration window opens. Visit our team's registration page. If you already have an account on FIRST Inspires because you previous registered your child in a prior season, click Login. Otherwise, click Register.
Scroll to the bottom of each policy as you read. Locate the checkbox and select it. If you cannot select the checkbox, continue scrolling to the bottom of the policy.
Complete the requested information to register your child. Please include your phone number. We need it in case of emergency and to text you a link to our team's Parent Newsletter.
The coach will confirm completion of prior steps, and if space is still available, the member can begin attending. The schedule will be provided in the welcome email. You will begin receiving a Parent Newsletter. You are encouraged to attend a new parent orientation.
The high school requires members to have an ASB card. You can buy an ILHS ASB card for $10 in the ILHS school office regardless of which school student attends. This should be done before the end of September.

Besides the thrill of competition, group fun, and skills you can be proud of, you'll be eligible for scholarships and can get letters of recommendations from mentors you've grown to know.
