Team 548, The Robostangs, has established a long standing tradition of inspiring students, mentors, and community members to become science and technology leaders. We have enjoyed spreading the mission of FIRST within our high school and local community. Now in our 10th year, we have 51 Robostang students and about 35 adult mentors. We currently have one major sponsor, General Motors, and receive other donations from local businesses. We plan fundraising events throughout the year, many during the summer, often combined with community outreach and service. We seize any opportunity to spread the vision of FIRST robotics.

Who are the Robostangs?

Breakaway Game Animation The Robostangs are a team of students, teachers, and mentors whom are apart of the US FIRST robotics competition or FRC. For the past 10 years we've assembled annually to build, design, and develop a robot that can compete in the FIRST competition games.

Mission Statement

Our goal is to inspire fellow students to be science and technology leaders. All team members will create, experiment, and build a winning competition solution for both on and off the game field. At the same time, they will build strong relationships with other Robostangs. . Robostangs is more fun than hanging out!

"Dean Kamen is an inventor, entrepreneur, and tireless advocate for science and technology. His passion and determination to help young people discover the excitement and rewards of science and technology are the cornerstones of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).

FIRST was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. Based in Manchester, NH, the 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills."
