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!

New Building, New Club
Firestone High School had been given a new building, which granted the club many new abilities. On top of that, the club's first Worlds team, 7316A of 2013-2014, was honored with a brick outside the school. The new building also granted Firestone to begin hosting its own competitions, something that had only been dreamed about prior.
