Welcome to Team 2449 in Tempe, Arizona

Out of Orbit is an exciting, spirited, FIRST Robotics team that is definitely "on the GROW!" We've doubled in size and launched two sister teams, ASU Space Grant Robotics and FTC Team 2805, since our rookie year (07-08). We are reaching out into the community and hope to launch a third off-shoot, a FIRST Lego League team in the next year. If you're interested in joining Team 2449, stop by Room 311 on any afternoon between now and March 19. If you would like some help starting your own team, give us a call or drop us an e-mail. We would love to help out! And keep tabs on our progress as we build "The Black Hole" for the '09 competition season by checking back here on occasion.
