First Robotics Club

Introducing the Gold Diggers #9733. The team is made up of seven students and funded by grants and donations from multiple businesses each year. They compete against over 40 other teams of Michigan high school students. The students and their industry mentors design and build large scale robots to battle in fierce 3 vs. 3 competitions.

Directly in front of the team display is a close-up cutout of their competition robot constructed with clear acrylic panels that prominently showcase local sponsor logos: Dickinson Homes, M.J.
