We are Saber Robotics, the FIRST Robotics Competition Team #2506 representing Franklin High School, Franklin, Wisconsin.

The Saber Robotics team at Franklin High School is one of many teams nationwide that participate in the FIRST Robotics program. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization whose mission is to foster science and technological leadership among students. The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) accomplishes this by hosting events that challenge students to build and design a robot to complete a specific task, while competing against other teams.

Saber Robotics is participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition in 2010 for the third year in a row.

As a rookie team, we took part in the 2008 Wisconsin Regional. This three-day event was a chance for us to display the results of our hard work and dedication during the build season. At the end of the competition our team ranked about midway in a pack of over sixty teams from all around the country.

Last year we participated in two competitions, the Wisconsin and Minnesota North Star regional's, and did very well. At the Wisconsin Regional, we came in second place and at the Minnesota North Star Regional we won both the safety and spirit awards.

We were very glad to have made such an impressive showing in our rookie season, and in our second year we did even better. Of course, we could not have made such progress and accomplished so much without the help of our generous corporate benefactors.

As a team, we practice Gracious Professionalism - a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community - and Coopertition - competing always but assisting and enabling others.

Because of our strong performance last year, we are looking forward to this year's competition. Check out a synopsis of the 2009 season.
