F.I.R.S.T.
Robotics, Team 1503 is part of Westlane Secondary
School's FIRST Robotics Program. Students in our program
range anywhere from Grade 9 to Grade 12, ages 13 to 19.
We are based out of Niagara
Falls, Ontario, Canada
" F.I.R.S.T." is an acronym that stands for “For Inspiration
and Recognition of Science and Technology”. FIRST is a non-profit organization
that was founded by Dean
Kamen (inventor of the
famous
Segway) in 1989. There are 37 regional
events around the world and a championship
event that is held
annually in Atlanta, GA. FIRST is run by professionals, gracious volunteers,
and mentors. The FIRST Robotics Competition is truly much more than the mechanics
of building a robot or winning a competitive event. The program inspires students
in the field of science and technology to teach them essential skills like...
Gracious
Professionalism.

As a team we strive up to add all the inspirational
opportunities to become the best we can be.
