Staley High School Robotics is working to provide students with the opportunity to achieve success as a team, develop leadership skills, and teach gracious professionalism.

The FIRST Robotics Competition pairs high school students with adult mentors (primarily engineers and teachers) to design and build robots that compete against one another in this high-energy “Varsity Sport for the Mind™”. Each year at the Kickoff in January, a new, challenging game is introduced. These exciting competitions combine the practical application of science and technology with the fun, intense energy and excitement of a championship-sporting event.

Teams are encouraged to display Gracious Professionalism® and to cooperate while competing – known as Coopertition™. Remote-controlled robots, piloted by students and cheered on by thousands of fans, go head-to-head in short games to earn points during a two-minute round.
