What it says it does

The Organization's primary purpose is to assist and support student members in the design and construction of a robot each year which is built to the specifications of the F.I.R.S.T. Robotics Program. The students then compete with their robot in several regional tournaments with the possibility of advancing to the National Tournament. Our underlying goal aligns with the goal of F.I.R.S.T. in that our desire is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills.
