Team Titanium has enjoyed fantastic success both on and off of the field in the past seven years. Along with expanding our team to new and unforeseen heights, we have won ten out of the twelve regionals we have attended. We have been honored with 14 Dean’s List Finalists and 14 different awards. We have a total of 48 trophies from FIRST, and are humbled that five came from World Championships. In addition, last year we received the honor of competing in the Einstein division in St. Louis. These accomplishments look rewarding in a trophy case, however the impact of Team Titanium goes much deeper than this. Many of our significant accomplishments happen miles away from the driver's station; it begins in elementary classrooms and community centers.

FIRST provides us a challenge and platform. Building a robot with budget restrictions and limited time is daunting. However, completing the variety of tasks allows us to “see” the power of hard teamwork and responsibility. Through countless hours we spend together, we foster a sense of acceptance and camaraderie. Our mentors help every step of the way to turn our dreams into reality. Using industry-tested design methods with cutting edge equipment donated by sponsors, we are proud to create award winning robots in our tight-knit Titanium family.
Our motto is “Engineering Engineers.” Due to FIRST, we have learned the true meaning of engineering. Unlike learning the math and memorizing a process on paper, FIRST allows us to learn by doing. The application of engineering principles are what hooks and leads to 96% of current members planning to enter a STEM field. Furthermore, FIRST has provided our alumni with thousands of dollars in scholarship money and been vital in them gaining admittance to some of the nation’s top universities: Harvard, M.I.T., and Purdue.
