White Bear Lake Robotics

Welcome to the White Bear Lake High School FIRST Robotics Competition Team website. Our team is team 2207, "Prime 329." We are a group of students from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, who compete in a science and technology competition called FIRST.  FIRST stands for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology." Every January FIRST gives us a new game for which we have six weeks to design, build, test, and program a robot. At the end of the build season, we ship our robot off to a regional competition to compete. Regional competitions are held worldwide throughout the month of March and the first weekend in April. Ending the game season is the Championship Competition at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, in the month of April. This year's challenge is a soccer-inspired game, which is called Breakaway.

The mission of the White Bear Lake Robotics Team is to design and build a robot to compete in a  FIRST Robotics Competition regional event, to learn fabrication and engineering skills and best practices from adult mentors, to foster creativity, teamwork, and "Gracious Professionalism," and to have fun with science and technology.

The 2010 Build Season is finished!

The 2010 build season concluded on February 23, when we shipped our robot to competition. We are very excited to see how this year's challenge, Breakaway, will play out. We will be meeting to plan and prepare for the competition, and watching to see how the first weeks of competition unfold. We will be competing in the Minnesota Northstar Regional at Mariucci Arena on the University of Minnesota campus. The competition will take place on April 1-3, 2010.
