TEC Tigers - Wicomico County Robotics Club

effort to encourage local high school students in our community to pursue careers in science and engineering a robotics team was formed in Wicomico County during the early part of 2010. Our team name is TEC Tigers, in honor of the old career and technology center in our county. The new career and technology center has provided our team with many resources that assists the team and keeps it functioning as a whole. The "TEC" part of our name comes from being part of the TEC Foundation, as the Wicomico TEC Hub. Through hands-on training, TEC Tigers promotes STEM learning. Every year we build a robot according to the year`s game requirements. Team members are challenged with building robots that require them to design, prototype, build and test a robot to compete in some or all aspects of the annual game. These robots compete in district, regional, and international competitions depending how far the robots advance at each competition. Coming up with funding to help the team with entry fees, parts, and travel expenses is never easy as the season can cost anywhere from $13,000 to $30,000 depending on travel expenses and if the team qualifies for the Championships. We are very thankful for our generous sponsors. The team welcomes any and all support: money, tools, raw materials, and even extra hands. The team is always looking to recruit more members, mentors, and sponsors. If you are interested in joining or sponsoring the team or just want more information please send an e-mail
