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.

Though the main event of the season is over, it's very obvious to see that our team is a SWARM of activity. The students are all a-BUZZ with excitement over Robotics. This year at the Autodesk Oregon Regional we left the crowd BEEdazled with our amaZZZZing hanging robot (We had the first robot to hang at our event!). Speaking of this years game...

This year's game:

Breakaway! This years game was essentially robot-soccer, except with more huge bumps in the field. For a more detailed look at the game, please watch this video.
