The PhyXTGears [fixed gears]
FIRST Robotics Team 1720, is holding an OPEN HOUSE to introduce High
School students and the general public to the world of science,
engineering, computer programming and media presentation. Open to
students in and around Delaware County.

Our
yearly open house is a great opportunity for High School students to
see what’s available to them when they join a FIRST Robotics Team. When
you join a FIRST Robotics team, you become a part of a huge community of
high school students who are focused on one goal: to improve the world
through the exploration of science and technology.

There
are many benefits to joining a FIRST Robotics team: You learn how to
work with other people, teamwork and team building skills, electrical
skills, programming, media (including blogging, photo journalism, public
relations, public speaking, and fundraising) mechanical and engineering
skills, how to use CAD design software and so much more!

We are the only team in Delaware County but one of many teams all over

County and are interested in anything about robots, including how to
build, program, design and operate them, you need to check out

PhyXTGears does more than just build and compete in FIRST Robotics competitions. For example, did you know:

PhyXTGears designed and operates the New Year’s “Ball” that drops in Downtown Muncie every year?

PhyXTGears holds a yearly scrimmage, hosted at Ball State, where we meet other FIRST teams from all over the US?

PhyXTGears
participates in the yearly Crossroads Regional FIRST Robotics
competition, to compete for a chance to go to nationals?

PhyXTGears
gives back to the community by participating in a variety of volunteer
efforts, like cleaning up parts of the Cardinal Greenway every month?

That participating on a FIRST Robotics team makes you eligible for a variety of college scholarships?

There are almost limitless opportunities to learn all kinds of skills that may not have ever occurred to you to even try?

That participation on a FIRST Robotics team looks really good on a resume?
