About the Warlocks

The Warlocks are a High-School level team participating in the FIRST Robotics program.

Each year, the team, along with thousands of others all around the world, receives a kit of parts and the details of a game they must use to build a robot to compete with. With only six weeks to complete the robot, they brainstorm, design, build, debug and perfect their robot, then ship it off to their first regional competition.

Then the fun really starts. We play the year's game in three-on-three team alliances, teamed up with other teams, playing against even more teams. As matches go on, you will play against teams that were your ally in previous matches. Gracious professionalism is the name given the unique brand of cooperation, competition and sportsmanship this format requires.

All in all, it's an intense, and greatly satisfying program that gives our young people a real-world taste of science, engineering and working-world interaction. Couple that with a large base of available scholarships exclusively for FIRST participants, and you'll see why so many of our graduates go on into college and sucessful careers.

There are a variety of ways in which you can become involved with the Warlocks and FIRST Robotics. Whether you wish to become a student member, a mentor, or a sponsor, any help is always welcomed. For more information on sponsoring the team contact Jim Rogowski at JimRogo@warlocks1507.com
