Welcome to the website of the Grandview Heights High School FIRST Robotics Team 128.   Grandview Heights is a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.    We are part of FIRST's FIRST Robotics Competition. 

FIRST includes Junior FIRST Lego League - JFLL (ages 6-9), FIRST Lego League - FLL (ages 9 - 14), FIRST Tech Challenge - FTC (high school) and FIRST Robotics Competition - FRC (high school students.)

For the just completed 2010 season the number of teams and students involved were:

JFLL - 1800 teams and 10,800 students competing in 40+ expos
 FLL - 17,100 teams and 171,000 students competing in 540 Qualifying Tournaments and
         111 Championship Tournaments

For the upcoming 2011 season, the number of teams and students involved are:

FTC - 1500 teams and 15,000 students competing in 100 Qualifying and Championship
         Tournaments

FRC - 2075 teams and 52,000 students competing in 49 Regionals/State Championships,
        9 District Competitions and the FIRST Championship

FIRST is an attempt to change the culture of young people in this country.  Through collaboration with peers and engineering mentors, students will soon realize that the "thrill" experienced by using their brains will equal if not better the excitement of traditional sports.
