Mission

We strive to unite students, educators, and engineers while creating a robust, highly competitive robot.

We will do this by possessing a can-do attitude, learning about the necessary technologies involved, and studying each year's game challenge. Our goal is to learn to accomplish technical work together and maintain a positive attitude and gracious professionalism at all times, both on and off the playing field.

Who We Are

Team 179 is primarily made up of students from Suncoast Community High School and Inlet Groves Community High School; however, we have several students from other high schools throughout Palm Beach County.

Our mentors include engineers from Lockheed Martin, EDF, and Pratt Whitney

Team Impact

Team 179 allows students to apply learned knowledge to real life situations while working side-by-side professional engineers.

To promote FIRST Robotics and educate the community about robots, we have done several demonstrations including but not limited to: Palm Beach County School Board, South Florida Science Museum, Stuart Air Show, Regal Cinema, and 4-H. Build Season
