About
The CyberKnights
FIRST Team 195 is a robotics team based in Southington, Connecticut. We have competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition since our first season in 1998.
Every January, FIRST releases a new game and a common set of rules, and more than 3,000 teams around the world design, build and program a robot to play it. That is the part people see. The rest of the year is training, outreach and the FIRST LEGO League teams we run for younger students.
The team is dozens of students across several sub-teams, backed by dozens of mentors with every kind of skill.
Mission
To inspire young adults to be technological innovators and community leaders, and to make an impact in their surrounding community as well as the world.
Beyond the robot
The CyberKnights bring science and technology to our whole town. We run FIRST LEGO League teams across Southington and Bristol, run community outreach events, and have long-standing relationships with assisted living centers, veterans organizations and the local food pantry.
All of that, plus the cost of building a robot, takes funding. We are lucky to have a network of sponsors who support us, and we would not exist without them.
