FRC is a high school robotics competition where teams of students build and program robots to compete in a challenging field game. It combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology.

The FRC build season (Jan-Feb) requires around 20-30 hours per week. During competition months (Mar-Apr), the commitment is around 10-15 hours weekly for meetings, outreach events and regional tournaments.

No prior experience is necessary. We welcome students who are eager to learn and will provide training in all areas - programming, CAD, manufacturing, business, etc.

Our major sub-teams are Mechanical, Electrical, Programming, CAD, Business & Media. The Mechanical team builds the robot, Electrical handles wiring & sensors, Programming codes the software, CAD focuses on 3D design, and Business handles outreach, awards & finances.

We rely on generous sponsors from local companies and organizations to fund our robot materials, registration fees, tools and travel costs. We also do fundraisers throughout the year.

Students must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA and be in good academic standing. However, passionate learners are valued over grades alone.

Students gain technical skills like programming, CAD, machining as well as soft skills like problem-solving, time management, public speaking, leadership and teamwork.

Our main events are the Regional Competitions in March/April, typically held in San Antonio and Dallas. Top teams advance to the FIRST Championship in Houston in late April.

There are many ways to get involved - companies can sponsor us financially or with materials/services, experienced professionals can volunteer as mentors, and community members can donate or assist us at outreach events.
