EAGLE ROBOTICS

FRC Team 5417 formed on September 1, 2014 as an extension of the newly formed robotics classes and club at Allen High School in Allen, TX. The student leadership of Eagle Robotics voted to participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) as a way to advance robotics programs within Allen ISD. Initially known as A-Team Robotics, the team began with 15 students and only one female student. We have grown to 40 students, of which 15 students are female.

Eagle Robotics trains tomorrow’s STEM leaders the skills needed to design and build a robot for FRC, in addition to networking and professional skills. As part of our long-term plans to turn our school district into a haven for robotics, our team wasted no time in creating and mentoring additional FIRST teams at elementary and middle schools in our district. We participate in educational field trips, host speakers and local business councils, and continue to create brand awareness through outreach events.
