Important Program Changes for 2026-27

Competition Season: Jan-May

  • Competition Season includes 2 Regionals, World Champs (if qualified), and MSHSL State Tournament (if qualified)
  • Registration Fee: $125. Refundable within 30 days of season start. Fees waived for families on financial assistance.
  • Approximately 45 students will be selected for the competition team. Selection of students will be based on a variety of factors such as: fall season contribution, points earned, role on the team, and disciplinary events.
  • FIRST registration will only be completed for Competition season (in January) and is a requirement to travel.
  • Points will reset on January 1. New point thresholds will be set for competition season travel and lettering.

Why make changes? The popularity of robotics at Irondale High School has necessitated this change. Last year we saw a 50% increase in team growth. Due to space constraints and limited number of coaches (mentors), the team has been forced to limit team size. Anticipating as many as 100 interested students this year, the coaches and student captains have elected to limit team size in an attempt to provide a meaningful experience to as many students as possible, while avoiding situations where there is not enough space, computers, tools, and work to accommodate the students who participate.
