6570 is the school robotics team for Whiteford High School in Ottawa Lake, Michigan. We compete in events created and hosted by FIRST. All WHS students are welcome to take part. Click on About Us above for more information!
FIRST is a non-profit organization that promotes Science and Technology worldwide through a variety of programs. They also run the "First Robotics Competition" (FRC). Each year they create a game for robotics teams to compete in, as well as host district, state, and world level competitions.
More about FIRST can be found on their website.
Every year, FIRST produces a new game with new tasks for robots to complete. We won't know the specifics about the 2020 game yet until the details are announced on Kickoff Day (early January).

If you are interested in joining our 2019-2020 Robotics Team, please plan for our official Season Kick off! We will be having a meeting for anyone interested in joining our Whiteford Robotics Team 6570 this year.
Mark your calendars, new and returning members! Our Summer Mini-Camp will be held Thursday the 8th of August through Saturday the 10th. Mini-camp is a great time where we hang out, work on robotics-related projects, drive the robot, and get to know each other.
The event is not required, but strongly encouraged, especially if you're thinking about joining the team next season and would like to know more. Thursday and Friday we'll run from 6:30-8:30pm, and Saturday we'll run from the early afternoon until the evening.
After our fundraising meeting last night, we’ve put into motion our plans to keep our robotics team financially strong as we look forward to the 2020 season. To get things rolling, we are asking all families to fill out the Potential Sponsor Form and help us brainstorm organizations that can help us achieve our goals for the upcoming season. If you can help us identify 3-4 businesses that we can reach out to, we’ll be in good shape.
To support our growing team, and to serve as a portal for communication with families and the community at large, we’ve created a website. Construction is ongoing, so please bear with any issues! Feel free to use the contact us form for suggestions and to report any problems with the new site.
