Villaciraptors 9076, a First Robotics team based in Montreal, QC, embarked on its rookie journey just last year. We started with just a handful of motivated students and mentors. Since then, we learned a lot from our experiences and challenges. We are now a team with about 40 dedicated members from grades 7 to 11. Each year, our team participates in the FIRST robotics competition, a world-wide competition for high school students.

We're dedicated to making robotics accessible to all, regardless of engineering skills. Our inclusive, safe and supportive environment encourages teamwork, respect, and lifelong skills. These values extend beyond robotics, shaping culture where every member feels valued and heard. As a new club, we welcome members with any level of experience, ensuring everyone contributes to our robot's creative process.

- Innovation: We foster creativity and innovation by encouraging team members to explore new ideas and approaches to solving problems. - Collaboration: We value teamwork and collaboration, recognizing that diverse perspectives and skills are essential for success. - Integrity: We uphold the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and ethical behavior in all team activities and interactions. - Continuous Learning: We promote a culture of lifelong learning, where team members are encouraged to seek knowledge, challenge themselves, and grow both personally and professionally.

FRC Team 9076 operates under the leadership of experienced students and coaches, who provide guidance, support, and mentorship to team members. The team is organized into several subteams, each responsible for specific aspects of robot design, construction, programming, and outreach.

1. Mechanical Team: Responsible for building the physical components of the robot, including chassis, manipulators, and mechanisms. 2. CAD Team: The cad team is a mechanical subteam Specializes in designing the core aspects of the robot. 3. Electrical Team: Handles the electrical systems of the robot, including wiring, circuit design, and integration of sensors and actuators. 4. Programming Team: Develops software for controlling the robot, including autonomous routines, teleoperated controls, and sensor integration. 5. communications team: Promotes the team in the community, organizes events, manage and get sponsorships and manages team communications and media relations.
