Team #10180 is Hemlock Middle School's robotics team "BrainSTEM".
In 2023, our middle school decided to conjoin into a singular team, as opposed to years prior.
FIRST® Tech Challenge is a student-centered program that focuses on giving students a unique and stimulating experience. Each year, our middle school team engages in a new game where they design, build, test, and program autonomous and driver-operated robots that must perform a series of tasks.

INTO THE DEEP presented by RTX is the 2024-2025 FIRST® Tech Challenge game. Teams will dive their robots into the depths of the ocean to explore the unknown and reveal its wonders. In "Into the Deep," two alliances of two teams each compete to score points by placing "samples" and "specimens" into designated areas. Robots must manipulate game pieces to score in baskets or clip onto suspended rungs. Each action earns varying point values. In the final 30 seconds, robots can score additional points by climbing and suspending themselves on a central structure at different heights.
