Happy International Women’s Day from Team STING-R!

Today we’re celebrating the incredible women and girls in STEM who make our team stronger every single day.

Our female mentors, coaches, and students are programmers, builders, problem-solvers, strategists, and leaders. They tackle challenges, fix what’s broken, and prove again and again that they absolutely belong in robotics.

At FIRST Robotics Competition, we’re not just building robots we’re building confidence, leadership, and the future of STEM.

To the amazing women and girls in our hive:
Keep asking questions.
Keep building.
Keep leading.

The future of robotics is brighter because of you.

Man how time flies. Just 8 weeks ago we started the 2026 robotics season and we have finally completed our robot. It is programmed, built and ready to run. Now we get to fine tune it and then in week 10 we have our first regional. Thank you to everyone who has helped this season. Thank you to all of our sponsors. We could not do any of this without your support. So without further ado, I present Michael Scott.

We finally got the CNC up and running! First piece cut. Now to cut the rest of the hopper.

Wow how did we get to the end of week 5 already? The team have been working hard on the robot build. We just finished the intake and shooter and are almost done with wiring. The older students took time to help the new students on how to use tools. They even took time to do some rivets by hand (instead of the electric rivet gun) and had a small competition on who could do it faster. So proud of this team and how they stay focused on the prize.
