FIRST Robotics Competition Team 1262 – The STAGS is comprised of students ages 14-18 years old as well as adult mentors. There is no cost to participate. The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sports with the rigors of science and technology. Under a short timeframe and strict rules, students and mentors must work together to engineer, build, and program a robot to play a difficult field game against other competitors. There is something for everyone in the STAGS!
