I.F. Robotics is recruiting!!!

In the 2 years of our existence, I.F. Robotics has proven ourselves to be a top tier team, one of the best in Washington State!  You can see our official track record here.

Who would be a good fit?

We're looking for students grades 9-12 who are self-starters and motivated to learn:

1. As a small competitive robotics team, we expect each student to work hard, pull their weight and play a crucial role in the team's success. 

2. This means putting in a lot of time and effort both inside and outside of team meetings. 

3. The most successful students will be the ones who love doing stuff, for whom nothing is more fun than immersing yourself deeply to create something cool!

Potential focus areas for new students include: Engineering/CAD, build and manufacturing, software and programming, game strategy, graphic design, video editing, marketing, social media, & more.

We understand that the competitive pressure and time commitment aren't for everyone. If so, check out our local 4-H team or contact us at join@ifrobotics.org for help finding a team that suits you.
