Who are we

We are a team that consists of 50-60 students which come nearly every day to work on the robot during the build season and compete against teams all over the world. After 10th period, we meet at the wonderful Ike Heller

During our preseason, we exchange information between the previous members, and the newcomers, ensuring that our build season occurs flawlessly. We host events and tryouts for students at our school to have an opportunity to join the team. During our offseason, we begin planning ahead for next year’s preseason and work on projects around the lab. We also host Future Vision events, in which middle schools from all across Brooklyn come to visit the school. We teach them about FIRST and engineering, while also letting them drive our robot.
