Team History

Out of the Box Robotics was founded in August 2013 with members from FLL team Minds in Moetion.

We operated out of the basement of our mentors until 2014 when we established a 501(3)(c) and moved out.

In 2014, we won the highest award at Pennsylvania States.
In 2016, we won the Control Award for software at the world championship.
In 2021, we won the second highest award at the world championship.
