Team 2537 is Atholton High School's FIRST robotics team.
The mission of FIRST is to spur interest in science and technology through robotics. Each year, FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) announces a challenge and thousands of teams have 6 weeks to each build a robot to meet the challenge. Teams of robots then compete in arenas to see which best met the challenge; FIRST competitions are exciting, high-energy events that draw competitors from around the world. Teams operate as small businesses with a business plan and marketing to draw sponsors who help provide the tens of thousands of dollars needed to build each robot and enter competitions. Students learn about gracious professionalism and teams are expected to provide outreach services to help others (e.g. middle and elementary school students) learn about technology. The mission of Team 2537 is to deliver a fun, educational experience through these robotic competitions
