We are Team 484 (aka "Roboforce"), a high school robotics team that competes in US FIRST competitions. The team builds it's robot during a 6 week build period, when mentors and students work together to create a bot capable of playing that years game.We are more importantly an amazing program that inspires students to do more with their lives, such as going into the engineeering or scientific fields. FIRST and Team 484 teach important technical knowledge, teamwork, and dedication to their members. Team involvement also strengthens students' life skills, particularly their organization and their capacity for hard work. Participation on a FIRST team also makes our students prime candidates targeted bymany colleges and universities, and allows them to get scholarships that are otherwise inaccessible. Being a member of our team is a privilege that is treasured by our students and enjoyed by our mentors.
