We are a FIRST robotics team based out of Saint Joseph High School located in Metuchen, New Jersey. Each year, FIRST gives us a game and some basic parts and we must design a robot to play that game within a six week time period. This allows students to develop a range of different skills, teaches them valuable life lessons, and gets them ready to work out in the real world.
