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.
