This Year's Robot

About Our Team

 

 Team 1165 is a group of approximately 40 Paradise Valley High School (Phoenix, AZ) students.  We are proud members of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Every year we face the challenge of raising over $5000 to participate in the Arizona Regional First Robotics Competition (FRC). Then, we have only six weeks to design and build our robot for the competition.

If our alliance wins the Regional Competition, we will then be required to raise an additional $5000-$6000 to participate in the National Competition in St. Louis, Missouri. This does not include money for the flight there and back, the hotel we stay at, or money for any food.

About FIRST


…to create a world where science and technology are celebrated…where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes…” Dean Kamen, Founder

“It's like life. There's never enough information. Never enough time. There's always competition and you need a strategy. We've created a microcosm of the real engineering experience.” Woodie Flowers, Co-Founder

The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with science and technology to create a unique and entertaining sport for the mind. FRC helps high school students discover the rewarding and engaging process of innovation and engineering.

Students can:
» Design, build and program robots
» Qualify for $8 million in scholarship funds
» “Play with the Pros” and work with professional engineers

FRC is a fascinating, real-world, professional experience and helps students see the value of education and careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
