About Us
Peninsula Robotics is a world championship FRC team based in Palo Alto, California. We are a student-run organization, unaffiliated with any school. Our students learn to design, build, and compete at the highest level. Any high-school student (public, private, or homeschooled) in the Silicon Valley area can join, regardless of skill level. Students may join our team via applications which will open during the summer.
Our Mission
Peninsula Robotics aims to enrich the educational experience of its community by providing local high school students with the opportunity to gain hands-on technical experience in engineering, software, and entrepreneurship. As an independent student-run organization unaffiliated with any school, we bring together like-minded students from different backgrounds in a creative and intellectually stimulating setting.
