FRC TEAM 1262- THE STAGS NEED YOU!!
FIRST Robotics Competition Team 1262 – The STAGS are searching for students ages 14-18 and adult mentors to join our growing team! Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, there is no cost to participate in this program.
The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sports with the rigors of science and technology. Under a short timeframe and strict rules, students and mentors must work together to engineer, build, and program a robot to play a difficult field game against other competitors. There is something for everyone in the STAGS, some of the skills students can gain include:
• Engineering & Computer Aided Drafting
• Computer Programming & Electronics
• Mechanics & Metal Fabrication
• Marketing & Graphic Design
• Outreach, Leadership, & Teamwork
• And More!

NCI FIRST Robotics Team 1262 has completed its twenty-fourth year of competition. Known as the STAGS (Students Technologically Advancing for Greater Success), the team is comprised of high school students from Bassett High School, Magna Vista High School, Martinsville High School, and home school students. Students were mentored by four adults all new to mentoring this year! These mentors volunteer their time after work hours and on weekends in order to make the experience for the students as “real world” as possible.
Achievements include multiple district and regional honors and 6-time FIRST World Championship Qualifier. Go STAGS!
Thanks for your support and Go STAGS!
