FRC Team 343 Metal in Motion

FRC Team 343 Metal in Motion Team 343 was established in 2000 through a collaborative project involving local industries and the School District of Oconee County.

Metal in Motion (FRC team #343) is a nonprofit organization located in Seneca, SC that introduces high schoolers from the tri-county area to STEM fields through designing and building a new competitive robot each year. Countless hours of networking and planning established the foundation for our team. We are proud that our team story has such a rich history and that many of our mentors from 2000 a

re still actively involved even as new mentors have joined the team. Our team name, Metal in Motion, came from the strong, local metal fabricating industry that has been with the team since its beginning.
