Bobcat Robotics is South Windsor High School's FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics team. The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to become leaders in the fields of science and technology. FIRST accomplishes this goal through programs that build knowledge, life skills, and self-confidence.
Our team allows for the engineers of tomorrow to experience a unique opportunity by working with professionals in the fields of science and technology and tackling a common problem: building the best robot for this year's game. Although it is a lot of hard work, we have fun along the way.
Student members of Team 177 have the chance of learning how to manage sub teams, presenting ideas to others, assembling hardware, wiring electrical devices, maintaining a website, marketing, and much more. With these skills, students can apply them to their lives outside of robotics and be productive individuals in the "real world."
