Mona Shores started its robotics program with an entry into the FIRST Robotics Competition in 2011. With a sponsorship from JCPenny and FIRST in Michigan and 5 students we began our journey to develop the program into what it is today. We have always been a smaller team averaging 10-15 members, but we have developed into a team that regularly attends the Michigan State Championships, the World Championships and have won many awards as we work towards new solutions every season.
