About PREDATOR
Discover the story behind our team, our mission, and the passionate individuals who make PREDATOR Robotics a force to be reckoned with in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
Our Story
Predator Robotics is a dedicated FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team built on curiosity, determination, and the drive to innovate. Our team is made up of students who share a passion for engineering, programming, and problem-solving, working together to design and build robots that can take on complex challenges.
At Predator Robotics, we believe that true success comes not just from competition, but from the lessons we learn along the way. Every prototype, failure, and breakthrough pushes us to grow—not only as engineers but as teammates and leaders. Collaboration, creativity, and persistence are at the heart of everything we do.
Just like predators in nature, we thrive by being sharp, adaptable, and relentless in our pursuit of excellence. Whether we’re on the field, in the workshop, or out in our community, we aim to inspire others to explore STEM and show that with teamwork and innovation, anything is possible.
