At Aggressive Engineering, we’re passionate about supporting the next generation of innovators. That’s why we’re proud to be a sponsor of the Blaine High School Robotics Team, FIRST Robotics Team 2181. This talented team of high school students is dedicated to learning, competing, and innovating in the field of robotics. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting the team at our facility, where they showed us their robot and shared exciting insights about their journey and upcoming competitions.
About the Blaine Robotics Team
The Blaine Robotics Team is part of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), a global program that challenges students to design, build, and program robots to perform specific tasks in a competitive setting. This hands-on experience allows students to explore careers in engineering, programming, and design, fostering crucial skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Through their dedication, the team is not only gaining technical expertise but also building a strong community around a shared passion for innovation.
