FIRST Robotics Team 1741

About Red Alert

Building robots, building futures — since 2006.

Who We Are

Red Alert Robotics is a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team based at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana. Founded in 2006, we've been competing for 20 seasons.

Our team brings together students passionate about engineering, programming, design, business, and community outreach. Under the guidance of dedicated mentors, students gain hands-on experience building competition robots while developing skills that last a lifetime.

We believe in FIRST's values of Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® — competing hard while treating everyone with respect, and recognizing that we're stronger when we work together.

The Innovation Center

The Innovation Center at Center Grove is our home base — a dedicated space for student-led engineering and innovation. It houses 1 FRC team and 3 FTC teams, creating a collaborative environment where students of all levels can learn, build, and grow.

Machine Shop

Full workshop with CNC, lathes, drill presses, and hand tools for manufacturing robot components.

Programming Lab

Dedicated space for software development, vision processing, and autonomous programming.

Design Studio

CAD workstations for robot design, prototyping, and 3D printing.

What is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global robotics community that prepares young people for the future through mentor-based programs.

In FRC, teams of high school students have roughly six weeks to design, build, and program a 125-pound robot to compete in a challenging field game. It's often called "the ultimate sport for the mind."

But FIRST is about more than robots. Teams also develop branding, fundraise, do community outreach, and learn project management — skills that translate directly to college and career success.
