Dover High School had its first robotics club debut in 2020 and later entered the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) as team number 8075. Since then, our team has competed in 8 competitions and won 5 awards across our 5 years of competing. 

The benefits of being in a Robotics team aids students; to get into better colleges, to receive scholarships, acquire advanced occupations, and so forth. In this club, we spend time with peers who have many ideas that could potentially be beneficial to the school, community, and maybe even the world. Through problem solving, creative thinking, and collaborating with peers and mentors students can advance their high school career and future.

A real life example of a student that benefited from his high school’s Robotics Team is a man named Grant Dalton. His participation in his high school’s robotics team sparked an interest in the engineering field. He followed this passion which led him to go to college and receive a degree in mechanical engineering. Grant now works here in Picatinny Arsenal and works directly with the Dover High School Robotics Team.
