Our Robotics Organization
Fremont High Robotics greatly supports the idea of a student-driven team with student leadership, initiative, teamwork, and respect within the team. To ensure that the team runs smoothly and efficiently, the organization is organized between its technical and non-technical teams. The individual competition teams (3501 Firebots, 16532 Sparkbots, and 16533 Infernobots) each have a Mechanical Design, Mechanical Manufacturing, and Software subteam. Electrical is a technical subteam specific to the Firebots. The non-technical Business and Marketing team consists of three divisions (Media, Events, and Business) working organization-wide with members from every competition team that split their time between technical and non-technical.
Our Core Values
