FRC Team 4788, an eclectic group of highschoolers from across West Australia! Brought together by a passion for robotics and making change!
Representing Team 4788, Team 5333 and Team 5663, three FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams based at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. Curtin University FIRST Robotics pairs teams of high school students competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition with Engineering mentors from Curtin University to design, build & use a large robot in the regional competition held in Sydney, Australia.

WEEK 3 COMPLETE! 🎉
Week 3 was particularly busy, our new recruits joined us for the first time this Friday and they returned for another session on Sunday to learn CAD and general mechanical skills. Coincidentally Sunday was also the Curtin Open Day, a great event with talks, demonstrations, and free food! After Open Day, the more experienced students completed the robot CAD ready for machining to begin ASAP

WEEK 2 & 2026 Ri3D COMPLETE! 🎉
Week 2 saw the annual WARP Robot in 3 Days event take place at Murdoch University, where Team 4788 supported the newly established WA FRC teams through 3 full days of robot building ahead of WARP this August!
With access to our mentors, tools and workshop resources, teams were able to gain hands-on experience and build confidence in all areas of FRC.
A huge thank you to DPIRD and Murdoch University for helping make the event possible!

We are now accepting applications for our year-round, hands-on, Advanced Robotics Program!
Students (aged 14+) will learn to solve real engineering challenges in a supportive, team‑based environment, alongside knowledgeable university mentors.
Here's what they'll get up to:
Design & Build - Learn the engineering design process, from CAD to assembly, with the help of state-of-the-art machining facilities. By August, they'll have built a 50kg robot ready to compete in the WA Robotics Playoffs!
Programming - Code in Java to control autonomous & driver-operated robot functions
Compete - Take part in two annual FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) events, facing off against more than 40 teams from across Australia
The FRC program is recognised globally by universities and employers as a top-tier STEM extracurricular. Based at Curtin University, participants will get a head start on campus life & STEM pathways before even graduating high school.
No experience? No problem - we're looking for eager learners who share our passion for robotics!
Our Winter Season (Mid-May to August) will bring them up to speed fast as they build something to brag about at the dinner table.

WEEK 5 PASSES BY!
Another week, another update! Week 5 has wrapped up! We’ve begun assembly of our final robot which will be featured at this year’s Southern Cross Regional, with all members of our team engaging themselves in different parts of the assembly process.
Our outreach and mechanical teams too have also begun working on their binder designs in coordination with our Media team and we can’t wait to share those with you too!
Stay tuned for more updates next week!

WEEK 4 COMPLETE!
Week 4 is complete and we’re on track to start machining parts for the final robot! Huge thank you to our CAD team for the incredible effort to make this possible. WFFA has also been submitted by our awards team, and we can’t wait to see how it goes.
As a bonus, we ended Friday night watching the Curtin University graduation fireworks on our way out, such a great way to wrap up the week!
Stay tuned for more updates!
