Robotics is not just a field of study; it is a gateway to innovation and creativity. As a student passionate about technology, I wanted to explore the world of robotics through competition. Whether you are a fellow student, an educator, or simply someone interested in robotics, I hope my journey inspires you to dive into this exciting field.

Victory tastes even sweeter when it's earned with grit, pressure, and perseverance.
After countless hours in the shop and moments that tested every ounce of our resolve, FIRST Robotics Team #5199: Robot Dolphins from Outer Space is proud to have won the 2025 Aerospace Valley Regional, alongside our incredible alliance partners: EPIC Robotz (4415) and The Nerd Herd (687).
This win wasn’t just about the trophy. It was about rising after each setback, pushing through defeat, trusting the process, and leaning on one another when the pressure was at its peak.
We built more than a robot. We built resilience, strength, and a reminder that success is forged through challenge.
Thank you to everyone who stood by us—sponsors, mentors, teammates, partners and parents. FIRST 2025 World Championship here we come!
