We are FRC Team 5212, the TAMSformers! This is our 10th year competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition. EVERYONE IS WELCOME, with or without experience. We will dedicate the first semester to teaching you guys all about robotics and the engineering process. Everything from mechanical to electrical to programming, we got you covered. We will compete in FIRST in the spring. Even if robotics isn't your thing, you can still be apart of our team. In fact, we NEED you! We have a business and marketing portion in charge of writing award submissions, looking for grants and sponsors, taking photos and videos, and managing our social media. We will also be mentoring various FLL (FIRST Lego League) teams in the Denton area, will be reaching out to help other teams nearby, and working alongside the other sectors of [[Junior Engineering Technical Society|JETS]] in multiple other volunteering projects.

==Competitions==

===FIRST Robotics Competition===

===BEST Robotics===
In 2019-2020, the team decided to stop competing in BEST Robotics and focus solely on FRC.
