SR1 ROBOTICS
Welcome to SR1 Robotics Team SCARLET!
We are a community-driven robotics team in Central Mississippi, dedicated to inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders.
As part of the SR1 family, our mission is to engage K–12 students in hands-on science and technology through fun, challenging robotics projects.
Our team name — SCARLET — stands for Science Creations Are Real: Let’s Evolve Together. It reflects our belief that any student can become an innovator with the right support and encouragement.
About Our Team
SR1 Robotics Team SCARLET (#6205) proudly competes in the FIRST® Tech Competition (FTC) — a global program where students design, build, and program robots to tackle exciting, real-world challenges.
We’ve built everything from 5-foot-tall machines to award-winning compact robots — all designed and constructed by students with mentor support.
Through robotics, our members gain:
-
Technical skills (engineering, coding, electronics)
-
Problem-solving and creativity
-
Teamwork and leadership experience
-
Confidence to ask, “Why not me?”
Many of our students join with little to no STEM background — but through mentorship and collaboration, they discover that engineering and robotics are for everyone.
Why Robotics?
In today’s world, STEM and robotics are essential skills.
Our program:
-
Sparks a love for science and technology
-
Builds career-ready skills in engineering and programming
-
Connects classroom concepts to real-world applications
-
Prepares students for a tech-driven future
Robotics isn’t just about building machines — it’s about building futures and strengthening our community through education and innovation.
