FRC Team 5599, participates in the annual FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC). In a six week time span, we raise funds, design, and construct a fully-functional robot.
FIRST ROBOTICS
FIRST Robotics Competition teams design, program, and build a robot starting with a standard kit of parts and common set of rules to play in a themed head-to-head challenge.
Teams also build a brand, develop community partnerships for support, and work to promote STEM in their local community.
Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get.
