FRC Instigators 1596
We are a school-sponsored FIRST robotics team that is in it's 20th year of competition.
There is something for everyone! It's more than just robots! Tap into mathematics, physics, electrical and mechanical engineering, computer programming, business, marketing, finance, social media, fundraising, outreach, fabricating and manufacturing.
Team members do a variety of tasks from business plans, art work, planning outreach activities, scouting and cheering for the team, learning 3D printing, and getting their hands dirty from handling wiring, wood, and metal. Be a part of the hardest fun you'll ever have.
