The Robowranglers, a partner
team consisting of Greenville High School and L-3
Communications, have been building robots since 1992.
Every year, through the FIRST Robotics Competition, L-3 engineers, high school students, and
community volunteers come together to build a one hundred
and thirty pound robot able to complete multiple tasks in a
six week time period. Through this building period,
engineers mentor students in brainstorming, prototyping,
design, and creation of the robot and its functions.
Students work at L-3 each night to create and build the
various parts needed for the robot. This enables the
students to take classroom concepts from the math and
science fields and apply them to a real world situation. For more information about our team, visit
