PVC Pirates - FRC Team 1058
The PVC Pirates is the Londonderry High School robotics team from Londonderry, NH, now on its 14th year of participation in the FIRST Robotics Competition. When founded in 2003, we were known as the “Londonderry Dragoons”. We officially became the PVC Pirates in 2004 when our robot, primarily made of PVC, resembled a pirate ship. We are very proud of the work our team does.
Our students machine all of our parts and everything is done in house. To this day, we are a motivated team and take this very seriously, but we also love to have fun. Our team is like a second family to our members.
Team parents!
