The Stockbridge FIRST Robotics team is capping off its short 3-year history with a landmark season.  In January,FIRST, an acronym For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology revealed its annual game challenge for this year’s FIRST Robotics competition. All FIRST teams then had six weeks to design, build, and program a robot to address the challenge.

The Stockbridge High School team built what they hoped was a world-class robot and headed off to the Jackson and Lansing regional competitions. Bam. The SHS team made a run in the elimination rounds and won several awards, thereby qualifying for its first-ever State Championship.

Next up, the team made a splash at the State Competition. It had now earned a chance to compete at the World Championship in Detroit, April 24 through 27..

Coach Bryan Tasior announced, “We will be competing against the top 405 of 3,647 teams from all over the World!”

But this amazing opportunity comes with significant financial burden. The SHS team needs $5,000 for registration plus four nights’ lodging in Detroit in order to participate in the tournament.

Currently, the team does not have the resources to go. Those who are able are invited to to help. The link below is a way to help the Stockbridge High School FIRST Robotics team make it to the World Championship.
