Welcome to the website of the illustrious Team 375: The Robotic Plauge. We are located at Staten Island Technical High School and are a rather small team with only 23 members.

    You may be wondering what sport has team numbers instead of names. Our sport has thousands of teams all over the world and our website is only one out of the thousands that is annually submitted for the FIRST Robotics competition. But what is FIRST Robotics?

     FIRST Robotics is a competition involving an ever changing game. Annually, every team from the world gathers together to witness the new game for the year. This year's game is known as Lunacy and more can be found out about it at the Team Section or at the FIRST website, www.usfirst.org.

    If you're already rooting for us to win, thank you, but we would like you to know that the actual members of the team won't be playing. Instead every year each team must build their own robot to compete in the year's unique game. This robot must be created by each participating team. However, the fun doesn't stop there, as there are other equally important tasks that must be completed to compete. One rather important one is the programming of the robot. An animation and the [rather beautiful] website you're viewing now are two other things that may be made for the competition.

    Every year, around the middle of Febuary, each different team's project are given to the judges at FIRST, and every year our team strives to meet with our robot in a different location ready to compete against hundreds of other different robots which are each designed by a different method to accomplish the same mission. This is the beauty of FIRST and engineering in itself; seeing how others accomplish the same task, but in a different manner than you would.
