Who We Are, What We Do |
What is Viking Robotics?
We are a team based in Ballard High School, participating in the First Robotics Competition. Our goal is to empower the next generation with STEM skills. We also aim to spread FIRST’s message of gracious professionalism, a general rhetoric of respectful collaboration and treatment among peers. Our team of over fifty diverse students works side-by-side with dedicated mentors from industry to learn and apply valuable STEM-based skills in a fun and highly cooperative environment. Together, with generous support of our corporate sponsors, we design and build robots that compete at the highest level. In 2017, Ballard Viking Robotics won the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston. The First Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international robotics competition that takes place from January to April of each year. During the season, teams have 6 weeks to design, prototype, build, wire, and program a robot. Teams then compete in competitions with/against other teams. As of the 2019 season, there are over 4,000 active FRC teams. What do we in Viking Robotics?
