FIRST Robotics Fundraiser

Our RISD FIRST Robotics teams, The Cybirds #8874 and The P-51 Mustangs #1745, hosted their Second Annual Pancake Breakfast and Competition Robot Reveal this week in the Eagle’s Nest. Students have designed, prototyped, fabricated, constructed, programmed, and integrated an original robot design over the last 8 weeks. The Cybirds and The P-51 Mustangs will compete this weekend in their FIRST District Event in Waco. Both teams will also compete at local events in the coming weeks, The P-51 Mustangs in Plano – March 9^th & 10^th, and The Cybirds in Dallas – March 22^nd & 23^rd. Performance at these events will determine the teams’ advancement to competitions at the state and then international levels. The teams are supported through a partnership between RISD and Richardson Area Wide Robotics, our local 501(c)3 non-profit.
