Danbury Robotics is a non-profit community competitive Robotics Teams out of Danbury Connecticut. We were founded in 2011 and have grown from one team to ten teams ranging from grades K-12 since then. Our team consists of members from the Greater Danbury Area and beyond to compete through FIRST.
This upcoming season (2025-2026) we have expanded our program and partnered with Connecticut Institute for Communities (CIFC) a 501c3 non-profit organization located in Danbury,CT, to bring robotics to pre-school students in CIFC’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs.
Images of team members, our engineering design process, i.e. hand drawings, CAD, build and testing, summer camps, out reach events like our Pi Day event, mentoring younger students, our robots at different tournaments which we have volunteered, hosted and/or participated, including the World Championships.
Registration for our programs will open soon! Make sure to check back after Labor Day!
Combining Sports with Science and Technology.
We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate sport for the mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have”. Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand", hone teamwork skills, build and program many different sized robots (depending on the FIRST program) to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It's like combining the excitement of sports with the rigor of science and technology; you work as a team for a successful outcome.
It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championships.
