Welcome to the Firestone Robotics website! We are a group of individuals with a similar mindset; think, create, destroy, and repeat.
We compete in VEX Robotics tournaments all across the state every year and work our hardest to create not only decent robots but also knowledgeable students and leaders of the future.
The club is lead by the club president, Jared Borodkin, and our advisor Dan Spak, as well as the hundreds of helpful parents and volunteers.
We can't wait to compete during this 2018 - 2019 season and hope to see everyone at worlds this year!

WORLDS!
Team 7316A in an interview at the 2014 VEX Robotics World Championship in Anaheim, California
Team 7316A qualified for the 2014 VEX Robotics World Championship in Anaheim, California by winning the Design Award at the Ohio State Championship of the same year.
Team A may have only won a single match at Worlds that year, but it was still by far the most successful season for a Firestone team at the time.
After it was all said and done, Firestone's robotics coach, Dan Spak, talked to the team before the flight home about the next season. He told them to consider what their goals for next year were. On the ride home, team 7316A decided that for the next season, they would split up to help train the other members of club.
