WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL
ROBOTICS
We are the Bay City Western High School Robotics Team 5603, The Warrior Bots. We are in our 9th year competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition. This year's theme is Charged Up!
FIRST Robotics is an organization that brings people in communities together through STEM and robotics in a fun, friendly, inclusive, and engaging environment. It is a world wide organization. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The FIRST organization has an immense impact on our school and community along with many others across the country. To learn more about FIRST Robotics, and what they're about, head on over to firstinspires.org.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Our robotics team actively volunteers with community organizations, to help give back to the community. We have partner with the Travis Manion Foundation to help take down the American flags from downtown Bay City for winter storage. We are proud to have partnered with this amazing group for the past 2 years, and look forward to supporting them in the future. In addition we have paired up with the local girl scouts to display our robot with their members.
