Hands-On STEM Experience
Work alongside mentors with real-world engineering experience. Design parts in CAD, machine them in our shop, wire electrical systems, and write production code — all before graduation.

6 wks Build Season
Since 2001, Cavalier Robotics has participated in the FIRST® Robotics Competition as FRC Team 619. Every year the FRC build season begins at "kick-off" in early January and runs for six weeks. During this intense period, we design and construct a roughly 130-lb robot to compete in that season's challenge.
After build season, we attend regional competitions throughout the spring. In our over 20-year history we have competed in Richmond, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Myrtle Beach, and the FRC Worlds Championship in both Detroit and Houston.
FIRST® Robotics is a "global robotics community preparing young people for the future." Teams design, program, and build a robot from a standard kit of parts under a common ruleset to play a themed head-to-head challenge — while also building community partnerships and promoting STEM locally.
