About TigerTronics

TigerTronics is US FIRST Robotics team 2053.  From Union-Endicott High School in Endicott, New York and with the support of many sponsors, mentors and volunteers, teachers, students, and alumni, TigerTronics competes each year in the FIRST Robotics Competition, a unique varsity sport of the mind which challenges high-school aged students from around the world to design and build robots to play a unique and ever-changing game.  Our team is dedicated to encouraging students to get involved with math, science, engineering, and technology by giving them chances to build their skills and interests in these ares while designing, programming, and building real, working robots and competing with them with the thousands of other FIRST teams around the world.  TigerTronics is also active in spreading interest in science and engineering through robotics demonstrations throughout the Triple Cites area of the Southern Tier of New York.  TigerTronics also helps spread an interest in math, science, technology and engineering to middle schoolers through Tween TigerTronics, a FIRST Lego League team at Union-Endicott Middle School founded by mentored by TigerTronics members.

US FIRST is an organization that seeks to promote science, engineering and technology among young people and has been existence for over a decade.  In the spirit of FIRST, TigerTronics seeks to promote these fields to students and throughout the community.

TigerTronics is primarily sponsored by BAE Systems.   Many other sponsors also provide invaluable support, both monetarily and through services and discounted materials.  A complete list of sponsors can be found on our Sponsors page.

In TigerTronics, like in all FIRST teams, mentors work along side students.  This unique approach to learning allows students to gain first hand experience of industry, and allows them to get expert help from professional engineers.  Our team strongly believes that it should be students, not mentors who design and build our robots, however.  Although TigerTronics' mentors take an active part in teaching students and providing feedback and assistance, our robots are entirely designed and built by students.

TigerTronics is an exciting team, which has achieved amazing success through the dedication and hard work of its students, mentors, parents, and teachers.  We are excited about the possibilities open to us, and look forward to continuing our success.
