RAID 2537
We are the Atholton High School's FIRST Robotics Team, also commonly referred to as RAID (Raiders Autonomous Intelligent Devices) Robotics. Every year we build a new robot to compete in ever changing competitions, through the FIRST Robotics Competition. We provide a fun and learning experience for any high school student who is interested in learning more about science and technology. Our team teaches the value of teamwork, planning, and leadership to help students learn and to be better prepared for the rest of their lives.
FIRST Robotics Team 2537 is made up of about 90 active members, who all work together to help our team succeed. Our students all have varying skill sets who have to work efficiently together to create a working robot. A major example of this is our software division, while they do not know the exact details on how the mechanical division works but they communicate with each other so that the software division can program the robot. We meet regularly in the engineering and technology rooms at Atholton High School.
