We are a dedicated team of high school students driven by a shared passion for STEM. Organized into specialized sub-teams, we collaborate seamlessly with guidance from our industry-experienced mentors. Our mission is to excel in the global FIRST Robotics Competition, a prestigious annual event. Our commitment to innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning fuels our journey as we design, build, and program robots to tackle complex challenges.
Currently we are working towards the FRC (FIRST Australia) - Southern Cross Regional in March 2025. We are working with a prototype of the current rules until the new game rules come out on January 4, 2025.
FIRST has its origins in the United States, where it was founded by inventor Dean Kamen in the late 1980s. The FIRST program is more than robots, with the robots acting as a vehicle for students to learn important life skills. For more information about FIRST, visit their website.
We are committed to outreach in our community and sharing our knowledge with local primary schools and community centers. If your school is eager to have our team showcase the robot and run a small workshop, please contact:

Team administratorWe are a non-for-profit school based robotics team. Having previously competed in an off-season FRC tournament where we reached the finals, we are now seeking your support for the upcoming Southern Cross Regional tournament in 2025.
Supporting us in this tournament presents your company with a unique opportunity to advertise to a large audience of like-minded individuals passionate about STEM, robotics, and engineering. Enclosed, you will find images of our former robot, which reached the finals in the previous tournament.
Our team has achieved significant milestones, including 2 awards we have received in the previous tournament.
We offer several sponsorship tiers to accommodate varying levels of support.
Bronze: $500-799
Silver: $800-1299
Gold: $1300-1699
Platinum: $1700-3499
Main Sponsor: $3500-5000+
In addition to monetary donations, we also welcome in-kind contributions of parts relevant to our project, such as PVC piping, pressurized hydraulics/pneumatics, and circuitry. Such contributions further enhance your brand's presence in the competition and are welcome.
The Southern Cross Regional competition will be held in Sydney in 2025, and if we advance to the finals, we would be eager to attend the International event in USA in 2026.
As a sponsor, you will benefit from exposure at events, media coverage, and networking opportunities with industry professionals. Your support will also positively impact our team members by providing them with invaluable learning experiences and skills development.
The Robot Finalist award (first time robot entry and made it to finals) and the Rookie inspiration award.
