Who we are

A student-powered robotics team

We are the Bionic Sharks, a FIRST Tech Challenge team of student engineers, programmers, and designers. Each season we tackle a brand-new robotics game — our robot goes from a couple of sketches and ideas into a fully fledged competitive robot that competes in hundreds of matches.

Beyond the field, we run STEM outreach, mentor younger FIRST teams, and document our engineering journey to share what we learn.
