What We Believe
Our team has 4 cornerstone beliefs
01
Student-Led
To us this means, a robotics team where students take charge of key decisions, lead meetings, and manage day-to-day operations, with mentors offering guidance.
To put it metaphorically, its like bowling, the students are the bowling ball, and the mentors are the guide rails making sure we always knock down the pins.
02
Sustainability
For us, this means practicing the art of passing down the torch to new leadership as veteran members graduate. We focus on building strong relationships with our school to ensure the team’s long-term success. Sustainability also means collaborating with other teams, working together to support each other, and making sure we all thrive, both now and in the future.
03
Community Engagement
Robotics is about giving STEM opportunities to everyone. We are fortunate to be located in Big Lake Schools where STEM is their focus too.
Our team has always made an effort in being out in the community demonstrating the importance of STEM.
04
Its not just building a robot
FIRST Robotics motto is "More Than Robots." And we believe in this strongly. Robotics is an amazing experience in which where you can meet new people, learn new skills. Robotics means something different to each student(learn more at "Meet The Team" page)
