Mission Statement

System Overload Robotics is a robotics team that participates in the international FIRST Robotics Competition for high school students. Unlike most teams, we are not affiliated with a single high school and therefore do not receive district funding or school-based support. Our team provides students who lack access to a robotics program at their school the opportunity to compete and develop skills in manufacturing, design, programming, and finance that they otherwise would be unable to learn, while also fostering an inclusive and cooperative learning environment. Members of System Overload come from multiple schools within the Californian cities of Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton, and San Ramon.
