Alpha Omega Robotics has been around since 2000. The team was started by engineers at the local Visteon plant, where we had a shop for several years. In 2005 it became necessary to move into the shop at Ypsilanti High School.
Every year the team takes on new members, teaches them to use tools safely and builds another robot. Veteran members and mentors help new members to learn the ropes. Team members learn a lot about engineering, programming and manufacturing.
 
The goal of FIRST and Team 470 is to inspire these young people to take up careers in engineering, science and math.
