FRC is a global robotics competition for high school students. Students design, build, program, and test robots, and gain hands-on experience with technical skills like mechanics and programming. The program's values are "Gracious Professionalism" and "Coopertition", which encourage respect and empathy for other teams.

FRC is the First Robotics Competition.

Team 8608's district is the First in Michigan (FIM) district found here

Who is involved?

The Idea.

Teams just like ours from all around the world receive a completely new game every season and race in 6 weeks to build a robot for competition season.

We start with 2 District events but if We make the cut We compete at the State (or regional ) Event against the best bots For hundreds of miles in every direction.

If all of that wasn't enough you have a chance as a normal high schooler to proceed to the world championship of robotics and compete against Teams from most corners of the world including China, Israel, Turkey, Brazil, Egypt and more.

The truth?

its a way to teach upcoming adults some very needed advanced skills in a fast paced and safe but rushed environment that challenges and builds teams into great leaders for their community.
