What Is First Robotics?
FIRST Robotics is a STEM-based program where students design, build, code, and test a robot that will be used in competition to complete specific tasks. In addition, students learn how to talk with professionals and obtain funding for the program.
Team Roles
Design/Build -
This is the group of people who define the form and function of the robot. In this role, students will design parts of the robot in Onshape (CAD) and then build them using tools such as a drill, CNC router, band saw, and others. This is also the primary group that experiments with new ideas, forms, and functions.

Programming/Code -
Programmers are in charge of the behind-the-scenes work of coding the robot. These students learn how to use the Java programming language to program robot functions. They design autonomous routines, give sensors/ motors jobs, and allow the robot to function as intended.

Outreach
The outreach team acts as the face of our team. These students meet with businesses and professionally ask for sponsorships for our team. They ensure our public relations stay positive by keeping our supporters at the top of their list. These students create fliers, advertisements, and talk with people.
