About Danbury (LEGO) Robotics and Danbury Robotics
We are a non-profit community competitive Robotics Teams out of Danbury Connecticut. We were founded in 2011 and have grown since from one team to ten teams ranging from grades K-12.
This upcoming season (2024-2025) 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.
Team members are from the Greater Danbury Area and we compete through FIRST.

It’s way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (10+ members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to play a floor game in an alliance format. Participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have!”
Guided by adult Coaches and Mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, like keeping an engineering notebook, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and sharing ideas. Along with designing, building and programming a robot, FTC teams are required to create an engineering notebook that documents their build season and team experience. It helps teams learn the value of the engineering process and gives them an opportunity to reflect on their experiences and improve. It also shows the judges at tournaments what the teams have overcome throughout the year. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and can be programmed using a variety of languages such as Java. Additional parts may be needed to build a robot for the new challenge which is released annually. Teams also must raise funds, design and market their team brand. Awards are given for the robot competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. Participants have access to tens of millions of dollars in college scholarships. Each season concludes with regional Championships and an exciting FIRST World Championship.

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of 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, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. 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.
