About Us
Who We Are
We are an FTC robotics team comprised of eighth through eleventh-graders.
Our Mission
Our mission is to combine imagination and innovation to develop an efficient robot capable of achieving the highest level of competition. We also aim to increase awareness about robotics and FIRST in our community by hosting events. In addition, we aim to assist current teams in our community in order to raise the standard for robotics in our community.
What We Do
We design, build, and program robots to compete in the First Tech Challenge.
Our History
Circuit Breakers debuted in the 2015–2016 season as Timberline 9. The current team started in the 2016–2017 season and was a member of the State Championship Alliance. During the 2017–2018 season, the team was a finalist alliance at Super Regionals and earned the Rockwell Collins Innovate Award at Worlds in Detroit, among other accolades. The 2018-2019 season brought league, super qualifiers, and state championships. We went undefeated in qualification rounds and was named the division’s third team captain, earning us a second trip to Worlds. In the 2019-2020 season, Circuit Breakers won our third state championship, established a Skystone world record, and qualified for Worlds. The team won its fourth state championship and qualified for the World Championships in 2020–2021. In the 2021–2022 season, we were the first recipient of the Mid-American Leadership Award. During the 2022-2023 season, we have won two consecutive Inspire Awards at the League Tournament and Super Qualifiers. We rounded off our season by winning the Innovate award at the State Championship.
