Team 4011
Our team was started in 2012 with the help of the 7 Rivers Robotic Coalition. We were assigned the team number 4011 and named our team at the suggestion of a teacher. Since that time, we have had many new students and many new coaches and mentors. We recently talked about our name and decided to embrace our team number even more by changing our name to BANANABOTS! You may be asking yourself why BANANABOTS, that's weird?! The answer is in our team number, the next time you pickup a bunch of banana's, look at the PLU # on those banana's...you'll see the number 4011, and that same number is used across the nation at every place that sells regular bananas. We give our robot a new name every season that fits with the game theme for that season. We have been to nationals in 2013 and 2023 and are striving to improve upon those successful seasons.

FIRST ROBOTICS
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”
Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.
