There is more than one way to help build a robotics team. Students can learn a technical discipline, mentors can share experience, families can support team operations, and partners can expand what young engineers are able to try.
Students
No robotics experience is required to begin. Curiosity, reliability, willingness to learn, and respect for safety matter more.
Mentors & volunteers
Engineering, software, fabrication, project management, communications, logistics, finance, and career experience can all strengthen the program.
Sponsors & partners
Funding, materials, equipment, services, facility access, tours, internships, and professional feedback all create student opportunity.
2026–2027 contact information
A school-approved team contact channel is being confirmed.
We will publish the correct general team contact here once new-season leadership and school administration approve it. Until then, contact West High School and ask to be connected with West Robotics / FIRST Team 9668.
