FRC 1058 - PVC PIRATES
Team info
About LHS Robotics
Londonderry High School Robotics competes as part of the FIRST Robotics Competition. Started in 2003, the team was originally named Londonderry Dragoons. The name was soon changed to PVC Pirates because of the first year’s robot shape, which resembled a pirate ship, and was built primarily of PVC.
Team students build our robot almost entirely in-house, from welding to electrical and machining to programming. We are a motivated team who work hard and love to have fun. Our team is like a second family to its members.
