Hi! We’re Team 1540, the Flaming Chickens—a high school robotics team in Portland, OR.
Since 2005, we’ve created 120-pound aluminum wheeled robots in 8-week sprints to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) at regional and international tournaments with 7000+ other teams worldwide.
Our robots are designed, manufactured, and programmed entirely by students (adults don't get to touch anything!)
Throughout the program, students:
• Design full CAD models of our robots using OnShape
• Machine our parts in-house, using CNC machines, 3D printers, and other tools.
• Create technical & executive summaries and give presentations to apply for awards
• Write our robot’s onboard code to perform tasks autonomously & under driver control
• Develop apps & services to make our team more efficient and make a difference in our community
• Make some really cool things !!
Beyond building robots, students develop skills to:
• Direct projects & manage teams in a real-world setting
• Work under student managers & hands-off adult mentors
• Demonstrate responsibility and commitment (up to 40 hours/week)
• Persevere in problem solving when there isn’t an obvious ideal solution
Team 1540 has a history of high achievement. We have qualified for World Championships to compete against the top teams in the world almost every year. We’ve also won numerous awards at the regional and global level for quality, design, and innovation.
Running a robotics team is no small economic feat. As such, we rely on contributions from community members like you! Please reach out if you or your company might be able to assist through a sponsorship or donation.
