About FIRST Robotics
|
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it 'the hardest fun you’ll ever have.'
Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team 'brand,' hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with the FIRST Championship. While building a robot is a necessary component for participating in FRC, team members can be involved in a variety of team activities, including marketing, video production, presentations, and more. |

About the Team
    |
Bixby High School's Robot Mafia was founded in 2008. We compete in the Oklahoma Regional Competition every spring, where we were finalists in 2009 and 2014.
Our name & logo were given to us by the announcers at our first robotics competition, where we showed up with no name and matching orange suits. The silhouettes in our logo are 3 of our founding members from that 2008 team. Any student in grades 9-12 are welcome to join. No experience or specific academic ability is required. Contact Mrs. Barnes in S-214 or Miss Churchill in 9GC N-124 for more information. |
Robotics Class
Interested in a hands-on class that teaches programming, engineering, building and teamwork skills?
We are trying to make Robotics a class at Bixby High School during the 2019-2020 school year. The class will count as one year of an elective credit.
