About Us
Established in 2009, the Andover Robotics Club is a student-run organization that specializes in the construction of various robots for nationwide competitions. We are located in the town of Andover, Massachusetts. The club is led by a 5 member board of officers, who keep it running behind-the-scenes. ARC participates in two competitions, First Tech Challenge and the NSL Ten80 Racing Challenge. In each competition, students focus on learning programming and building concepts. We previously competed in another competition: Botball.

Our Accomplishments
Since ARC's first competition in 2010, we have been earning awards for our excellent documentation and teamwork. In the 2010 Botball New England competition, we placed 4th overall, 1st in our alliance match, and won the award for outstanding documentation. The FTC Northern New England Championships in 2011 awarded us the THINK award for stellar documentation of our engineering process, which we proceeded to win again at the 2012 North Andover Qualifying Tournament. We continued on to host and participate in the 2012 Massachusetts FTC Championship Tournament. At the 2011 Botball competition, we received the Judge's Choice award, winning 2nd in our alliance match. In 2012, Botball once again commended our tremendous documentation. In addition, we are currently sponsored by many local companies, including Green Mountain Coffee and ARBC Financial Mortgage Corporation. We supplement this income with the First Green e-Watt Fundraiser.
