About The Team


team We meet everyday after school. During our many involved meetings, our subgroups meet to complete individual tasks. We are the RoboDogs! Currently our team consists of Design and Engineering, Marketing, Programming, Computer Aided Design, and Website Design. We have mentors for specific tasks and those mentors work with team members based on need. Also, both our mentors and team members multitask and pitch in where ever they are needed.
We currently consist of a group of highly interested students, teachers, and mentors. We are always growing; we encourage every member to do his/her part for the team. We work together to complete the challenging task of FIRST.

What is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a 501 C 3 non-for-profit charity with the goal of inspiring young people with science and technology. The organization was founded by Dean Kamen in 1989, and ever since then, FIRST has grown to be world wide. FIRST sponsors a variety of competitions like LEGO and Robotics. With over 1,809 FRC (First Robotics Competition) members, it is shown how compassionate team members, mentors, and volunteers can come together to form great teams.

History
Narraritive-The Crown Point Robodogs, Team 2171, was formed in the fall of 2006. It all began with a meeting of interested students, parents, teachers, and other sponsors. The Robodogs became official members of the Purdue Boilermaker Regional for the 2007 season with the receiving of the NASA grant, and the Indiana Workforce Development. We placed around 30th place out of 40 teams for our rookie year. However, over the summer we attended the IRI and placed in the thirties out of seventy teams. We currently operate out of Crown Point High School.
