Spartronics 4915 is a high school FRC robotics team located on Bainbridge Island Washington. We began in 2013 as a scrappy startup, and today we are a thriving team with 40 student members, 10 mentors, and one tireless coach! Our 20+ student leaders manage our major subteams, including mechanical, electrical, pneumatics, marketing, design, strategy, and programming. Throughout the year, we participate in a plethora of community events, from demonstrations with our robot that we present to all three of our elementary schools to summer STEM camps and even marching in our 4th of July parade, which is attended by thousands of visitors. We are builders, coders, designers, marketers, and community leaders. We are Spartronics!
