The Robowranglers are a robotics team comprised of students and teachers from Greenville High School and engineers from Innovation First, Inc. and L-3 Communications Integrated Systems in Greenville, Texas. Each year through the FIRST Robotics Competition, volunteer engineers, high school students, and members from the community partner together to build a robot in a time period of six weeks. Through this building process, engineers mentor students in brainstorming, prototyping, design, and creation of the robot and its functions. Students work with engineers each evening 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.

Reality sets in as competition begins. The FIRST Robotics Competitions are centered on a new engineering challenge or "game" each year designed to showcase the science and math talents of team members. The object of this year's competition, "Breakaway," is to attain a higher score than your opponent by shooting balls into a goal and climbing onto an alliance tower or platform. Six teams, paired in two alliances, will compete in each match. Each alliance works together to try and beat the other alliance by scoring the most points in a two-minute match. After all of the teams at the regional competition have completed a series of qualification matches, the teams will be ranked. The top eight teams will then choose allies from among the remaining teams and form eight alliances. These eight alliances will then compete in a best two-out-of-three series of elimination matches until an event-winning alliance emerges. The main goal of the competition, is not to score points, but to maintain a sense of gracious professionalism and build lasting partnerships.

Students on the team this year are Rae Arnold, Alex Cartier, Allison Chitwood, Colin Doby, Elise Follett, Parker Francis, J.R. Gutsch, Andrew Harrison, Jordan Henderson, Cody Horton, Connor Horton, Katie Kroncke, Randy Larsen, Mark Mahrer, Josh Matlack, Colton McCain, Connor Mulkey, Keri Porter, Dillon Row, Nathan Ruprecht, Jimmy Vaughn, Ryan Villarma, Steffen Villarma, Gwendolyn Ward, Charles Wensel, Trevor Wooten, Kaleb Wright and Amy Yznaga.  Corey Chitwood, Paul Copioli, Armando Corrales, Adrienne Emerson, Chris Follett, Jim Francis, John Hodapp, Chris Horne, George Kroncke, Joe Maher, Brandon Martus, Steve Maxwell, Kevin Morris, Vanessa Pope, Ricky Quinones, Ken Stroud, Ricky Torrance, John V-Neun, Monty Wineinger and John Yznaga serve as mentors for the team.
