WHO ARE WE?

  • Poly Rabbotics Team 7042 is a FIRST robotics team that is currently entering its third year. In the past twenty-four months, Team 7042 has grown to 35-40 students, sent a robot to the LA and OC Regionals, World Championships-Houston, and won the Rookie Inspiration Award.
  • The process of this project has been a source of confidence and knowledge that we look forward to applying in college, internships, and future careers. We hope that it continues to prove to be a resource for our school.
