About Us

Team Picture
Our team's annual goal is to assemble a team of energetic students that bring academic lessons to bear in a robotics competition. We are part of the FIRST organization (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technolgy) and participate in FIRST Robotics Competitions (FRC).

FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and tight time limits, teams of high school students are challenged to build and program a robot to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors, raise funds, design a team "brand", and hone teamwork skills.

Projects

For the 2024 FRC CRESCENDO Season, Team Paradise built "The Rhino".
