Our Competition
Simbotics is team number 1114 in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) stages short games played by remote-controlled robots. The robots are designed and built in 6 weeks (out of a common set of basic parts) by a team of 10 to 20 high-school-aged young people and a handful of engineers-mentors. The students pilot the robots on the field. Each school year, teams are formed in the fall. Competitions take place in March and April. FRC Regional events are typically held in university arenas. They involve 40 to 70 teams cheered by thousands of fans over three days. A championship event caps the season. Referees oversee the competition and Judges present awards to teams for design, technology, sportsmanship and commitment to FIRST. The Chairman's Award is FIRST's highest honor.

Our Game
This year's game is FIRST Overdrive.
Each year, FIRST unveils a new game. This year's game is FIRST Overdrive. This fast-paced game involves driving robots around a circular track as quickly as possible, while carrying or tossing giant balls across two finish lines. Robots need to be durable, fast, and powerful in order to compete successfully. Our team is hard at work ensuring that our robot meets all of these critera. For more information about FIRST Overdrive, visit the FRC team section on usfirst.org. Also, be sure to check out the game introduction video (Windows Media Stream).
