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!

WHAT IS COMPUTER INTEGRATED MECHANICS?
C.I.M.
Computer Integrated Manufacturing, one of the engineering elective courses, tends to be the main course that all engineering students look forward to. It focuses on processing plans and bringing your plans to life by turning digital models into reality. In this course, you will be able to learn how to operate many of the engineering room machines such as the 3D Printer and the Robotic Arm.
"Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course illuminates the opportunities related to understanding manufacturing. At the same time, it teaches students about manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation. Students can earn a virtual manufacturing badge recognized by the National Manufacturing Badge system."
