WE ARE TEAM 1318

The Issaquah Robotics Society (IRS) is a student robotics club from Issaquah High School in Washington State. We participate in the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) as team 1318. Founded in 2003, we continue to build robots and spread STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education to our community.

  • Learning

    Mentors from real technology companies teach us STEM and professional skills, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming, 3D design, business management, marketing, and competitive strategy. In a way, it’s like a model of a modern tech company.

  • Inspiring

    From appearing in festivals to mentoring younger robotics clubs, we take what we learn and give back to our community. Our goal is to spread the STEM education mission of FIRST, giving every kid a chance to build robots and learn the associated skills.

  • Building

    We build a large robot every year, some as tall as we are! Depending on the year’s FRC game, they have a variety of abilities, such as climbing walls, shooting balls, picking up cubes, throwing discs, and avoiding obstacles. They then compete in fast-paced competitions.

A lot goes into building a robot.
Even more goes into building a team.
