JoCo RoBos

JOCO ROBOS is a county wide high school robotics team proudly hosted by the new Associate in Engineering Program at Johnston Community College. These students make executive, technical, financial, strategic and operational decisions that mirror those of successful engineering companies, priming them for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Using key skills our students will design and construct a robot in a six week period and compete in the NC Regional FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC).

The ROBOS start their second year with FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition. FRC is a worldwide event encompassing over 4,000 teams and 75, 000+ students. FIRST® was founded by Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway™. His vision is to inspire an appreciation of science and technology in young people.
