About

Team 2876 is a FIRST Robotics team from Burlington High School in Burlington, Massachusetts. We are known as the DevilBotz, a name we take from the Burlington High mascot, the Red Devil. We have been competing in FIRST since 2009. None of this would have been possible without our mentors, who give us something we, as students, can never give back: time. The same goes to our sponsors, whose generosity allows continuous productivity during our six-week build season.

History

Five years ago, we entered the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) in hopes of building the foundation of our small but growing robotics team. FRC is a robotics competition in which many countries participate and compete with Gracious Professionalism®. As the FRC season started in January, the team, along with other teams who compete in FRC, kicked into top gear. Every day was a commitment to meet the deadline. During last year’s competition, we competed against 40 other robotics teams. We won some and we lost some but it’s the journey we took, the knowledge that we gained, the friends we made, and the fun we had that counts.

We also have participated in competitions that include FTC, Science Olympiad, and the VEX Bridge Battle. We came in second and got an award for most versatile at the Boston University Vex Bridge Battle Competition in 2008. Although we have committed to the FRC, we may be interested in doing other competitions during post-season.
