This is the homepage of FIRST Team 957, SWARM (South and West Albany Robotic Maniacs). We are the combined team of South and West Albany High Schools.

A new year has started, and our students have SWARMED to our hive (Also known as our build-space). For the next six weeks, our students will work hard to make a robot that STINGS! Speaking of this years game...

This year's game:

Logomotion! This years game required robots to pick up and place intertubes on a grid for points. You could also bring in a minibot and have it climb up a pole for more points. For a more detailed look at the game, please watch this video.
