In the fall of 2016, CPRS created our first competitive Robot Team. "This Side Up - 9966" was selected as the team name.

 

Students in middle school through high school are eligible to participate. In the early fall, teams attend the informational session with FTC (First Tech Challenge) during which they receive detailed instructions on the tasks that the robots must perform during competition at local, regional, nationwide, and worldwide levels.

 

Robots are designed and built by the students, with mentoring assistance from adult sponsors.
