Welcome to Out of Orbit’s mission control! Out of Orbit is FIRST Robotics Team 2449, a joint effort made up of students from Marcos de Niza and James Madison Preparatory School. Our objective is to build a robot and compete with it in the FIRST Robotics Competition. We’re all about having a well balanced team, and building an awesome robot! Many of us are interested in majors and careers in science and technology, and joining a robotics team is a great way to get informed, experienced, and passionate about what such a career could be like. We’re excited about the robot this year, and can’t wait for the competition!

New in 2012, of course, is the game, Rebound Rumble, mixes concepts from previous games with a new basketball flavor. We’re excited to welcome over a dozen new members to the team, and we continue to become more student-managed than ever. We think that’s exciting! We’re working on establishing team systems that will help keep us going in future seasons.

We invite current sponsors and potential sponsors, parents and curious future-team-members to come and see what the excitement is all about! If you’re wondering how you can help us out, visit our Sponsor Pages and check out our “wish list”.
