Skunkworks Robotics is affliated with Aviation High School, located in Des Moines, Washington. We are registered as Team 1983 with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Our name, Skunkworks, is inspired by Lockheed Martin’s top secret Skunk Works program, where the company designed many incredible aircraft such as the SR-71. We are now in to our sixth year as a team and have grown and improved with each year.
While robotics is our passion, the Skunks recognize
that FIRST calls upon them to do more than
just build robots. Through Skunkworks Robotics, the
Skunks are active in schools, their
community, and with other FIRST teams. By encouraging students to pursue education and employment in STEM fields, FIRST works to preserve our region's economic strength and advance our global competitiveness.
The End of a Season...
And so ends another memorable season with our trip to the St. Louis World Championships. We had the chance to play with some of the best teams in the world and had a lot of fun doing it. We had the best performance we have ever had in St. Louis, making it to the semi-finals on the Newton field. We are ready to come back next year and do even better!
We aren't done yet however, we still have several team events planned for the summer! Keep track of our progress by reading our Blog, Twitter, and Events pages.
