ViperBots Robotics is a competitive student robotics program aligned with FIRST at Vandegrift High School in Austin, TX.  

We are one of the best ranked high school robotics programs not only in the state of Texas, but in the world!

FIRST is more than robots.  The robots are a vehicle for students to learn important life skills. Kids often come in not knowing what to expect - of the program nor of themselves.  They leave, even after the first season, with a vision, with confidence, and with a sense they can create their own future.
