Eligible students are those attending Redondo Union High School (RUHS) or Mira Costa High School (MCHS) in the fall, including incoming 9th graders. Students from other schools without access to a FIRST Robotics Competition team may join at mentor discretion.

New members are not expected to have any prior skills when joining the program. All members are expected to learn and participate during lab sessions to gain new knowledge.

The time commitment for students is comparable to varsity athletics. During the season (January to April), team members are expected to spend at least ten hours per week working in lab. During the off-season, lab is generally open on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons, with an attendance expectation of at least two hours per week. Check the calendar for an up-to-date schedule.

Families are asked to provide a donation to the team to help cover various team expenses if they are able. The suggested donation amount is $300 for the 2025 competition season. For certain travel events where hotel, food, and/or transportation are required, additional funds may be requested.

We are in need of parent volunteers to help with a variety of tasks during the year, including competition chaperoning, carpooling, and organizing meals. Parents are also welcome to come to open lab to help with field assembly during the start of the season.
