Good morning,

Happy Halloween! Below are some frightfully fun FRC updates and important upcoming events.

Team Merch Store - Closes Nov 9th!

All students attending competitions will need at least one green polo, but since events last 2–3 days, we recommend having multiple. This year’s team t-shirt features the Rebuilt game logo on the sleeve along with our 2025–2026 sponsors.

Team 167 & Team 11241 Dinner

Sunday, Nov 16th | 5–7 PM | FRC 167 Lab

We’re excited to partner with Team PRAIRIE (11241) as their mentor team for their 2025-2026 rookie FRC season! All students are invited to a dual-team dinner featuring presentations by 167’s student leaders, a lab tour, robot demo, and get-to-know-you games. This is a great time for new members to learn more about the FRC season and for returning ones to practice their leadership skills.

Please sign up to bring a dish or side to share. Our team includes students with peanut allergies, so please note if your dish contains nuts.
