We are from the Pingry School in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, and we compete in both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstinspires.org\/robotics\/ftc\">FIRST Technology Challenge<\/a> (FTC) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstinspires.org\/robotics\/frc\">FIRST Robotics Competition<\/a> (FRC) competitions.<br>Our team started in 2008 and currently has an active roster of 20 students. Together, we work to promote teamwork and STEM, as well as the ideals of FIRST. Additionally, we drive students to be more independent and develop an interest in STEM as a future career path. <br> All students affiliated with FIRST are expected to exhibit gracious professionalism, which entails working towards the success of every team, as well as the success of one&#8217;s own. We found that Pingry&#8217;s honor code, which is very important to us, actually shares a lot of the same ideals. These include promoting honorable behavior, giving help to others, and working hard in order to achieve a goal. <br> These principles have pushed us to try and help all members of our community to grow and learn, starting with robotics. <br><br>We consist of two teams: one FTC team <strong>6069 Pingry Robotics<\/strong> and later in the year one FRC team <strong>2577 Pingry Robotics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pingry_robotics\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/students.pingry.org\/robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-7.32.54-PM-961x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/students.pingry.org\/robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-7.32.54-PM-961x1024.png 961w, https:\/\/students.pingry.org\/robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-7.32.54-PM-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/students.pingry.org\/robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-7.32.54-PM-768x818.png 768w, https:\/\/students.pingry.org\/robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-7.32.54-PM.png 1322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Would you like to <strong>get to know the team<\/strong> and <strong>receive updates<\/strong> on our progress? <br><br><strong>Click our logo&nbsp;<\/strong>(left) to open the Pingry Robotics Instagram&nbsp;and see what we&#8217;ve been up to!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"color:#185874;background-color:#eeeeee;text-align:center;padding:7px;font-family:Arial Black;font-size:200%\"><strong><u><i>Our Latest News!<\/i><\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li style=\"color:#185874;margin-left:50px;font-size:170%;font-family:verdana;padding:3px\"><strong>FRC season is starting soon! <\/strong>\n<li style=\"margin-left:80px;font-size:110%;color:black;font-family:verdana;padding:3px\"> If you are a Pingry student looking to join our team, please reach out at <a href=\"mailto:bigbluerobotics@gmail.com\">bigbluerobotics@gmail.com<\/a>.\n<li style=\"margin-left:80px;font-size:110%;color:black;font-family:verdana;padding:3px\">We are happy to answer questions and offer advice! \n<li style=\"color:#185874;margin-left:50px;font-size:170%;font-family:verdana;padding:3px\"><strong>Happy FTC Season! <\/strong>\n<li style=\"margin-left:80px;font-size:110%;color:black;font-family:verdana;padding:3px\"> Our FTC season this year has been off to a great start!
