FIRST Team 1561 “Roboducks”

Home

Welcome to Team 1561’s website! We are a robotics team competing in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition.

The FIRST Robotics Competition is designed to allow high school students to discover how interesting and rewarding the lives of engineers and researches can be. The competition begins by giving students and their mentors a standard kit of parts to solve a common problem while remaining in the guidelines of the rules.

“Gracious Professionalism, the ethos of FIRST, is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the values of others, and respects individuals in the community. Fierce competition and mutual gain are not two separate notions.”
