About Us
The West Islip Robotechs started back in 2002. Ever since then we have been paving the path for new innovative and creative ideas. With help from volunteers and mentors, along with the community, West Islip robotics uses S.T.E.A.M. for hands-on learning where students are taught to think outside the box. We yearly sketch, build, and create a specific task performing robot to challenge other teams with. Our team annually competes in the international FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). We are always on the lookout for new people, come join us!
