Welcome to the homepage of the Ridgefield Robotics Team known as the Pirates #2070. This site provides useful resources for team members, to communicate with other robotics teams as well as information for the general public. The team participates in the FRC team (FIRST Robotics Competition) which is a competition for high school students world-wide held by an organization known as FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology). FIRST is well respected because of all its educational benefits for the young generation. More information on FIRST Robotics can be found in the official FIRST website or in our Objective section of this website. We are from Ridgefield Memorial High School in Ridgefield, NJ. As of 2007-2008 season, this is our second year participating in FIRST Robotics. The team consists of about 30 students and are separated into several departments. And, with team effort, the robotics team will be attending a couple regional competitions later on in the year. The team also established a FIRST Lego League team in Ridgefield's middle school, Slocum Skewes. Not only do will we compete, we will also volunteer by attending the AIDS Walk and helping out in a local soup kitchen.

The Ridgefield Robotics attended the NJIT event for the revelation of 2008's challenge! The challenge was officially revealed and is called "Overdrive". Overdrive is simply a competition where teams will race their robot strategically. By the word, "strategically", balls will also account for additional points. For example, if a robot were to toss a ball over a monkey rail, the robot's alliance would get eight points! Nevertheless, the team was hard at work this very day, designing their robot. After hours and hours of brainstorming, the team came up with two design plans in which will be prototyped. more information on the challenge>>

The Brunswick Eruption was fantastic! We had an enjoyable time at the competition. It was amazing to see so many teams with their repolished robots. After a series of tough battles, we managed to be selected by alliance team 1989. It was, overall, an awesome run of games. And, congratulations to the winners; your effort and commitment surely paid off! Well done! However, we are definitely going to miss Rack N Roll! As for now, Juggernaut, our robot, will be used for numerous presentations and of course for show!

We finally visited Slocum Skewes, Ridgefield's Middle/Elementary School. It looks like we have several highly motivated, interested students. When we arrived to the school, we were immediately amazed. They were all hard at work, collaborating their ideas, and even making other unique robot models. The team helped the young ones build the basic parts of the FLL robots and helped create their research presentations.
