FRC is the top of the FIRST ladder: a full-size robot, alliances of three, and a season that runs like a small engineering company. Team 11429 is also the name that ties all of our FIRST teams together.
Team 11429 played its first FRC event at the Southern Cross Regional, March 2026.
Our students built our first FRC robot's bumpers by hand.
In Houston our students toured the pits of FRC teams from around the world to learn how the best teams build.
Registered for the 2027 Southern Cross Regional, 11–14 March 2027.
On the first day of our first FRC event, our code was buggy and our flywheel would not cooperate. Teams 3132 Thunder Down Under, 5876 ARTEMIS and the event volunteers fixed them alongside us and shared years of experience. That is gracious professionalism — and the standard we now hold ourselves to with newer teams.
An FRC robot's bumpers carry the team number into every match. Ours started as a stack of plywood on the workshop floor and ended up wrapped in red and blue with “11429” on every side.
At the 2026 World Championship our students walked the FRC pits, asked questions and took notes on how veteran teams organise their tools, spares and robots — ideas to bring into our second season.
