About Us

Shaping the engineers of the future!

Who We Are

Founded in 2009, we are a high school robotics team based in Lexington, Kentucky. We compete in the annual First Robotics Competition event. We are composed of extremely dedicated and hard working high school students who aspire to become amazing engineers and innovators in the future. Each year, our team of students driven by their love for STEM and guided by our experienced and dedicated mentor, work extremely hard to design, build, assemble, and program a fully functional robot to compete in the FIRST Rototics Competition.

Our Mission

Our mission as a high school robotics team is to provide all of our members with the opportunity to learn and apply new skills while having fun through the FIRST Robotics competition. We want to inspire innovation and a love for robotics as well as STEM. We strive to empower our members to become excellent innovators and leaders who will make a positive impact on the world by promoting critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and perseverance.

Our Values

Teamwork: Collaboration is key to succeed in robotics and beyond. We want to create an environment with diverse perspectives and where everyone's voice can be heard.
Dedication: Overcoming obstacles and not giving up can be a great way to grow and develop new skills or qualities.
Innovation: Thinking outside the box is crucial for engineers. Creativity and innovation can lead to great accomplishments!
Fun: We strive to create an environment that is not only educational but also fun and positive, making work much more enjoyable!

Our Leadership

Along with all our members, they make our team unique!

We have an amazing and diverse team of students and mentors that all love robotics! The students are divided into two teams: the electromechanical (build) and programming teams. Here is some information about those teams.

Team Mentor

Our mentors, driven by their love for robotics, are the ones with the most experience, and they help guide and supervise the team with their expertise. They are also the ones who handle all the documentation, registration, and logistics of going to the competition! Their astounding commitment to the team and robotics as a whole is what allows this team to function.

Programming Lead

The extremely driven and caring leadership is composed of experienced members that organize everything including meetings, team structure, as well as individual assignments. They help guide new members, and plan the team strategy as well as the construction and design of the robot based on the season event and everyone's input.

Programming Team

The programming team is composed of dedicated and driven computer science students. They are the ones responsible for creating and implementing the software used in the robot. They are also the ones who test, debug, and maintain the code base. Furthermore, during parts of the build process, when the programming team is ahead of the build team, they may assist in the assemblage of the robot.

Electromechanical Team

The electromechanical (build) team is characterized by all of it's brilliant engineering students who, each year, work hand in hand with the programming team and mentors to plan, design, and assemble a fully functional robot with great care and precision. The hands-on experience with electronics, pneumatics, and mechanics in an actual workshop prepares them to become great engineers in the future.

If you are a student who likes STEM in the Fayette Country school district (Lex, KY), or if you are interested in becoming a mentor, we would be honored to have you on our team.
