Team History
Team 2902 NYACK was started in 2003, after our head coach secured a NASA grant. This is how the students at Normandy High School were introduced to FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and the FIRST Robotics Competition. Our assigned team number was 1210. Participating in the FIRST robotics competition provided the students at Normandy High School and experience in the areas of math, science and technology, and allowed them to realize new potential, and excel to new heights. Unfortunately due to monetary constrains the team had to take a hiatus until 2009 when the team was able to secure one of the Boeing grant’s and the team reentered the FIRST family now with a new number 2902. The new crop of students decided to keep the old team name NYACK because it spoke to their new renewed commitment and the ideals and mission of FIRST.
