History

We are FIRST Robotics Competition Team 375, The Robotic Plague. Hailing from Staten Island, New York, our team strives to encourage a positive view of science, technology, engineering and math in the heart of our community. While our team is almost twelve years old, we are ever expanding. With the help of dedicated mentors, alumni, sponsors and parents, our members experience a team unlike any other. We are proud to say that although we build engineering feats, we build spirit, professionalism, and humanitarianism simultaneously. As we like to say: "There are no problems, only solutions!"
