In 2011, we formed our team and met in one of the mentors’ homes. We began with just a handful of students and mentors with a passion to learn more about robotics.

Today, the Dexter Dreadbots are full-steam ahead for FIRST Robotics. We are beginning to see the results of our first year of sharing the fun of robots with our community. Team membership jumped from 6 in 2011 to an average of 45 students each year.

In addition to competing with our robots, we are also active in sharing our robots with the community. We inspire younger students to explore STEM careers.

We are a fun-loving team that enjoys spending time together in the off-season. We typically host many Outreach events during the summer, connecting with our community, as well as working on projects together to help us in seasons to come!
