About Team 997:

Located in Corvallis Oregon, Corvallis High School is home of Team 997 Spartan Robotics. Our mission is to spread FIRST's message. We inspire interest in science and technology by participating in FIRST's Robotic competition and various community events. Each year we work to involve the student body and inspire younger students to become involved. We are a tightly bonded group of students who dedicate themselves to science, technology and the act of gracious professionalism.

What makes our team special?
We are a very hard working team with a remarkable amount of determination to get any job done in a safe and timely manner. With limited resources in our team's current situation, we have managed to maintain our efforts to complete our work.

While important, building a robot is not our team's #1 objective. The most important part of our team is gaining skills one can use as a young engineer and to work together through the conflicts that arise throughout the 6 week build season.

We have a commitment to other teams as well, as we are part of First Force, an organization where local mid-valley teams work cooperatively. Team building skills are often created by spending time together before and after our robotics meetings by playing hacky-sack or going out to eat and watch movies.
