Community Robotics Team
A community robotics team for high school students.
Byte Force gives high school-aged students in Wake County a place to build, program, design, communicate, lead, compete, and serve their community.
More than building a robot.
Students learn by doing meaningful work together. They contribute through technical, creative, business, outreach, strategy, and leadership roles based on their interests, performance, and commitment.
Skills Students Build
Learn across the whole team.

The Team Year
Build, test, compete, practice, and connect.
Competition Season
The team interprets the game, develops ideas, designs and builds, programs, tests, practices, improves the robot, and prepares for competition. Work overlaps and evolves as the team learns.
Off-Season
Students continue training and practice, improve systems, participate in off-season competitions, recruit and prepare for the next season, demonstrate the robot, volunteer, attend community events, and showcase the team.
