About Us

ABOUT OUR TEAM

We are an FRC Team based out of Ignite Institute, a STEM school located in Erlanger, Kentucky. PiBotics has been together since 2011. Team 3814 started as the Ryle Raider Robotics team, but in 2013 we grew to a district-wide team open to high school students across Boone County Public Schools.

ABOUT FIRST

FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by Dean Kamen in 1989 as a nonprofit organization. FIRST aims to develop an appreciation and interest for STEM among students while also supporting soft skills needed in the modern world. FIRST has several programs for 500,000+ students grade K-12 worldwide (Jr. FLL, FLL, FTC, FRC). For more information, visit FIRSTInspires.org

ABOUT THE SEASON

Teams from all around gather to compete in a fun and academic environment. Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense two month time limit, teams are challenged to build and program industrial-sized robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Team members also raise funds, design a team “brand,” and hone in teamwork skills.
