We've officially registered with FIRST® Robotics — the world's leading student robotics program — and we're competing right here in Vernon Hills, Illinois.
Competitive robotics is expensive — we know it. That's why we're looking for like-minded students and families in Vernon Hills and surrounding communities to build this team together. No prior experience required — just passion.
Based in Vernon Hills, IL. Growing fast — these spots are open right now.
6th grade. LCRC 2nd Place. Autonomous vehicles, AI & robotics.
Python, Java, or C++. Help code our competition robots.
Recruiting NowCAD, 3D printing, or hands-on building. Any experience level.
Recruiting NowCurious about STEM? There's a place for you on this team.
Recruiting NowRobotics is our core — but the skills you develop here span math, physics, AI, engineering, and beyond.
Design, build, and program competitive robots from the ground up. Learn mechanical systems, sensors, and actuators hands-on.
Explore machine learning, computer vision, and autonomous decision-making — the same tech behind self-driving cars.
Write real code in Python, Java, and C++ to control robots, process sensor data, and compete at the highest level.
Kinematics, geometry, linear algebra — the math you learn in class comes alive when you need it to make a robot move precisely.
Circuits, motors, voltage, and force. Build real electronic systems and understand the physics behind every movement.
CAD modeling, 3D printing, and iterative design. Build something, test it, break it, and make it better.
Four major robotics competitions each year — regional, state, and national stages.
Official FTC registration. High-school level robot design, build & programming competition — one of FIRST's most prestigious programs.
Official FLL registration. Robot missions, research projects, and core values — the world's leading student robotics program.
Regional robotics challenge including autonomous driving and navigation — right in our backyard. 🥈 2nd Place, 2026.
Multi-event robotics olympiad competitions held across the greater Illinois and Chicagoland area.
Applications are open for students in grades 5–12. Show us your passion for STEM and take the first step.
