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 Season is over!

The 2010 build season concluded on February 23, when we shipped our robot to competition. We competed in the Minnesota Northstar Regional on April 1-3, and we had a lot of fun even though we didn't make it to the elimination rounds. This year's challenge, Breakaway, proved to be an exciting game and we would like to thank all of the volunteers, mentors, and teams at the competition for making it such a fun weekend. Congratulations and good luck to all of the teams who will be competing at the World Championships in Atlanta!
