Wayland Wildcats First Robotics Team is a competitive high school sport. We design, build, and program robots to complete a task in eight weeks.

FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international high school robotics competition. Each year, teams of high school students and mentors work during a six-week period to build game-playing robots that weigh up to 120 pounds (54 kg). Robots complete tasks such as scoring balls into goals, flying discs into goals, inner tubes onto racks, hanging on bars, and balancing robots on balance beams. The game changes yearly, keeping the excitement fresh and giving each team a more level playing field. While teams are given a standard set of parts, they are also allowed a budget and encouraged to buy or make specialized parts. FRC is one of four robotics competition programs organized by FIRST. FRC has a unique culture, built around two values. Gracious Professionalism embraces the competition inherent in the program, but rejects trash talk and chest-thumping, instead embracing empathy and respect for other teams. Coopertition emphasizes that teams can cooperate and compete at the same time. The goal of the program is to inspire students to be science and technology leaders. In 2015, the 24th year of competition, 2904 teams with roughly 73,000 students and 17,500 mentors from 19 countries built robots. They competed in 56 Regional Competitions, 48 District Qualifying Competitions, and 5 District Championships. 600 teams won slots to attend the FIRST Championship, where they competed in a tournament. In addition to on-field competition, teams and team members compete for awards recognizing entrepreneurship, creativity, engineering, industrial design, safety, controls, media, quality, and exemplifying the core values of the program.

WMRI CHAMPIONS!!

What a way to end the day! Our first finals match was a rough one, but after an opponent unintentionally disabled our alliance captain’s robot and resulted in a red card, we came away with the win. We headed into the second finals match ready to go, and WE CAME OUT ON TOP! 🎉🏆

A HUGE thank-you to our alliance captain, South Haven High School Robotics - Team 4855 Ramageddon, and our partners Code Red Robotics Team 2771 and FRC Team 9106 - Grand Rapids Catholic Central Spires! It was an awesome experience working together to bring home the win!

We also want to thank our host teams — 74, 85, 107, 141, 1918, 2771, and 3357 — for putting on this event and giving our new team members the opportunity to compete and gain valuable experience, while allowing our returning members to learn and grow, too.

Offseason competitions are about so much more than winning. They’re about learning, growing, building connections, and getting better together. Today, we got all of that AND brought home the championship!

We can’t forget to thank all of our mentors and parents that put so much into our team so we can compete. Thanks so much for your commitment!! 💕

What a weekend!

Our girls had some great final-round matches, but came up a bit short on fuel finishing 2nd overall. We couldn’t be more proud of this team!

So proud of our ladies for their perseverance, determination, and willingness to step outside their comfort zones, take on new roles, and keep working through every challenge. And a huge thank-you to our gentlemen for supporting the girls and cheering them on throughout the weekend!

We’re also incredibly grateful to our coaches and mentors who showed up for this team, shared their knowledge, and gave these students the opportunity to compete and grow.

Thank you so much to our fans in the stands and of course all of our parents! We couldn’t compete without you either!

And a special shout-out to our behind-the-scenes mentor Zak, who was always just a phone call away with last-minute advice when we needed it!

It takes a village, and we’re so thankful for ours. Wayland Wildcats Robotics. So proud of you!🤖
