Team Resistance – Going Against The Current Since 1996. FRC #86
Who are we?
Team Resistance is a seasoned FIRST Robotics Competition team founded in 1996. We inspire young innovators in the North Florida / Jacksonville area through hands-on robotics experiences that they could get nowhere else – preparing them for the future while having some fun along the way.
We don’t just build robots – we build innovators, leaders, and students who are determined to make a difference in our world.
What do we do?
At Team Resistance, we teach lifelong skills through building, designing, programming, and competing with robots – along with everything that goes into keeping our program alive.
We focus on:
- Innovation: We encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking – nothing new ever came from doing everything the same way as everyone else!
- Application: We teach skills that can take students anywhere in life, even outside of STEM careers.
- Learning: Everyone on Team Resistance can always learn a little more.
Where have we gone?
Over three decades, Team Resistance has left its mark on the FIRST robotics competition. We have competed at over 50 events since our founding in 1996 as a STEM program, won five of them, and have qualified for the FIRST World Championship nine times.
Additionally, we have won over 30 awards at competitions for our robot and team, putting us on a grand stage in front of the entire state of Florida.
