Our Mission
“Our mission as the FIRST Bots of Independence is to effectively integrate Van Horn High School, Truman High School, and William Chrisman High School, into a family-based, highly energetic team. Together we will strive to achieve academic excellence in school and provide further outreach with our positive energy through community participation.”
Team Expectations
- Anyone planning to be an FBI member for any approaching season is required to have passed a Major Systems Test prior to Winter Finals Week in December. Any student who has not taken one of the tests and passed with at least 80% proficiency will not be allowed to participate in the upcoming FIRST Season as per the team rules.
- Prospective members must also have passed the General Safety Test prior to the December Finals in order to be considered for team membership. Any student who has not taken the test and passed with at least 80% proficiency will not be allowed to participate in the upcoming FIRST Season per the team rules. For further questions please contact the FBI adviser at your school.
A new system for earning a team letter and being able to participate in the season is currently being developed and will be rolled out when the details are worked out.
