About Us
We are Theoretically Correct Robotics (aka FIRST team #14738), a competitive robotics team from Calvary Christian Academy in Philadelphia, Pa. Our team is made up of boys and girls in grades 7-12 who are passionate about STEAM, business, design, and leadership.
From September to April, we participate in the annual FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), a worldwide robotics competition that tasks students with building and programming a robot to meet a specific challenge and compete with other teams. Our 2002 season was our most successful yet, with the team placing 8th overall in the state of Pennsylvania as well as winning FIRST's Motivate and Connect awards!
Even during the offseason, we can be found either conducting meaningful outreaches into our communities or going the extra mile to ensure our team is rocking and rolling in time for next year's competition.
For more information about FIRST and the game this year, check out FIRST's Website!

Our Core
Values
Theoretically Correct tries to weave these three values into every practice, brainstorming session, and competition.
Innovation
For our team, "Thinking Outside the Box" isn't just a novel mantra, it's a way of life that trickles down into our every move.
Collaboration
Working together is the key to any team's success, and we certainly aren't an exception.
Imagination
Einstein once said that, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." We agree, as imagination is the fire in our team's belly.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
​
To inspire and engage young people in the STEAM* disciplines using robotics, helping them build skills they can use in their future careers.
(STEAM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)
Meet the Subteams
Each of our Subteams performs tasks that are vital to our team's success. They are responsible for dreaming, designing, building, coding, financing, and even driving our robot.
