MAKING ROBOTS ~ BUILDING LEADERS

WHO ARE WE?

WE ARE RED!

RNR members participate year-round in FIRST® related activities, whether it be robot-design/building/programming practice, website and team promotion, raising funds to support the team, or outreach events to promote FIRST® robotics and STEM education. This helps to not only prepare students for FIRST® Robotics Competitions (FRC), but it also helps to familiarize team members with the principles of FIRST®. ​

WHAT IS FIRST®? In the words of FIRST® founder Dean Kamen, FIRST® was created "to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes." The mission of FIRST ® is to engage young people and inspire them to change the world. Through a wide range of opportunities and mentoring, participating students can enhance their technology skills, build self-confidence and leadership, learn to work as a team to achieve goals, and experience the excitement of FIRST ® competition while making many new friends along the way. FIRST® organizes several robotics competitions to get students involved in robotics through a fun game. The major competition is the FIRST® Robotics Competition, in which students build robots to play a given game on a human-sized field.

HOW DO WE EXIST? If it was not for the generosity of the individuals and businesses who sponsor our program, we would not have the resources to provide these great opportunities for our community. If you would like to sponsor our team, please see the SPONSOR US! page.

2023 Off-Season

Even during the summer months, we stay busy. We do fundraisers, demos, and of course, our summer meetings. While we may not be going toward a goal of having a game robot ready, we are training those who’ll be taking over. This summer, our non-technical teams will be planning a fundraising campaign, and a few outreach events! As well as that, our technical teams will be rebuilding our competition robot for off-season events, demos, and to train our new members!
