Our Mission:
To promote innovative ideas and actions through collaboration of students, mentors, and sponsors in development, construction, promotion and operation of a FIRST Robotics team. Students and mentors will complete tasks that will assist in developing business skills that will be applicable in real-life situations, and will assess every situation as an opportunity to learn. Members of the Grand Blanc Robotics Team will maintain Gracious Professionalism toward all teammates, other FIRST Robotics teams, as well as their community, in order to gain an understanding of the importance of networking and professional communication.
