Our Mission

Dublin Robotics Boosters exists to make the mission of FIRST accessible to as many students as possible within Dublin City Schools through fundraising, hosting events, raising awareness, and other supporting activities. The mission of FIRST is to provide life-changing robotics programs that give young people the skills, confidence, and resilience to build a better world.

About Us

The Dublin Robotics Boosters supports programs for FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics. These programs include one FIRST Robotics Competition team for all three Dublin High Schools, and FIRST LEGO League Challenge teams for grades 4 through 8. The Dublin Robotics program began with one high school robotics team in 2002 with 25 students under the direction of Greg King. This team, Bad Robots 1014, is still going strong, having recently won the Engineering Inspiration award at the Smokey Mountain Regional. This award allowed Bad Robots to participate in the FIRST World Championship in 2024. In 2007 a pilot program for the elementary schools began with 45 students and four elementary schools participating in FIRST LEGO League. Our program has expanded significantly since then. This year we anticipate sponsoring 11 FIRST LEGO League teams from 8 Dublin elementary schools and 5 middle schools.

The 2025-2026 season is getting started!

Every artifact we uncover holds a story. Each tool, each innovation, each work of art connects us to the people and ideas that came before us. Using STEM skills and teamwork, today we can dig deeper into discoveries than ever before. Join us this year for “Unearthed” where students, grades 4-8, will build and program LEGO robots in order to participate in a fun filled 2 and half minute robot game, create an innovative project and explore FIRST’s core values. Register now to join a Dublin FIRST LEGO League team.

register for the 2025-2026 FLL season

FIRST® Robotics Competition teams design, program, and build a robot starting with a standard kit of parts and common set of rules to play in a themed head-to-head challenge. Teams also build a brand, develop community partnerships for support, and work to promote STEM in their local community.

Watch this video from FIRST about FRC to learn more about this world-wide program.

FIRST Robotics Competition will be registering later this year in Dublin, so stay tuned. For more information about FRC in Dublin, contact the VPs of FRC, Dublin Robotics Boosters.
