What are the Clark County 4-H Robotics Clubs? 

They are organizations dedicated to teaching valuable Science, Technology and Teamwork skills to our community’s youth. The clubs provide opportunities for members to compete in the FIRST Family of Programs (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).  All levels of FIRST are represented:

  • At the Jr FIRST Lego League (JrFLL) level, team members build educational displays with Lego bricks.
  • The next step is FIRST Lego League (FLL), a mid-level robotics program in which each team uses a LEGO (R) Mindstorm NXT robot kit to meet an annual robotics challenge.  Members also research and present a project based on real world issues.
  • In the FIRST Technical Challenge (FTC), middle school teams continue to use the NXT brain for their robots, but the bot is made of metal and is about the size of a bread box.
  • Lastly, the FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC) is for high school students.  There are no more Lego parts and the robots weigh in at about 120 pounds.
Locally, these FIRST events are operated by Oregon Robotics Tournament and Outreach Program (ORTOP) and FIRST-Washington (FIRSTWA.org).




In 2010, the Clovernauts Club took two teams to the FLL State Championship Tournament in Oregon where both teams won trophies. 

Since then, the Clovernauts have developed six more teams including all areas of FIRST: JrFLL, FLL, FTC, and FRC.  All told, the Clovernauts have eight teams and serve our community's youth ranging from age 5 through 18.

The Clovernauts also participate in the Clark County Fair and Washington State Fair.  And in keeping with the spirit of both FIRST and 4-H, members of the club are involved in community service projects throughout the year.

None of this would be possible without the support of sponsors.  The Clovernauts most staunch supporters are:  Daimler, H.B. Fuller, Boeing, US Digital, HP, Washington State University, and Manor Evangelical Church.  Thank you Sponsors!
