FIRST^® Robotics Competition (FRC) 

FRC blends the educational aspects of science and technology with the excitement of competitive sports. Students who participate in FRC compete with a robot they design and build. They also have the opportunity to learn other skills in the areas of CAD, programming, design, business, photography, videography, and more. Every year, FIRST^® creates a new game for the robots to play. The teams then design and build a competition robot for the game. After a two-month build period that spans January and February, competition season begins. Competitions culminate with the FIRST^® World Championships in late April. 

What we do 

The Wissahickon High School FIRST^® Robotics Competition Team is an evening and weekend activity designed to inspire young people to pursue careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). Students build complex machines, learn valuable skills such as CAD, photography, and business, travel the world, win scholarships, and have the time of their life. The team also puts a strong emphasis on community outreach activities and charity. The program is open to students in grades 9-12. 

Subteams 

Whether you’re interested in engineering or photography, there’s a place for you on Team 341, Miss Daisy! Our team is broken down into sub-teams that work as individual units that collaborate to make our robot.

Time requirements

Students are expected to dedicate time to the team every week to ensure our success. Rookies, or first-year students, can choose between being a part-time member or a full-time member. We anticipate students commit full-time by their second year on the team.
