A group of Missoula high school students spent their Saturday drafting plans to build a robot potentially capable of climbing, shooting or recognizing specific colors.

The group, known as the Missoula Robotics Team 3216, has six weeks to design and construct a robot to compete against dozens of others in Salt Lake City for the annual FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition.

Along with an immense investment in time, the competition also requires funding. The team has picked up local sponsors that include engineering firms and MCPS, but will be continuing outreach to cover the costs that average $10,000-15,000 per competition.

The team currently has a Gofundme for those interested in donating.

Any Missoula high school students interested in joining can meet the team at Sentinel High School’s Stem Center (Room 140A), Mondays at 4 p.m.
