Rochester Robotics Team - The FEDS 201

The FEDS are running a station at the Heritage Festival in Rochester Municipal Park all weekend! Be sure to visit us to learn about our robot, make bracelets, and visit some of the other stations to celebrate our community’s history!

Join us in celebrating our 2026 FEDS seniors! Our first senior is Jackie, one of our very own People & Culture leads and Media lead. She is behind the vast majority of posts and media you see from the FEDS! From her first year on the team, she quickly developed a passion for photography and videography (she’s now a scholastic national silver medalist!), playing a large role in our outreach and public media. She is someone that we all love to laugh with but also truly look up to. Jackie will be studying strategic communications at Western Michigan University in the fall!

We’ve collected the following quote from a fellow FED about Jackie: “I am so glad I was able to be closer friends with Jackie this year! You are someone I always enjoy being around, and someone I can always count on. Your laugh is contagious in an amazing way, and you never fail to make the team smile. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!” ❤️🤍💙

On Saturday we held our fourth annual peace summit! This year we invited teams competing at the World Championship to join us in making bracelets and talking about FIRST. We are so grateful to everyone who showed up to support! We loved seeing you have fun and we can’t wait until next year! Go FEDS!☮️

The FEDS ended day two ranking in 11th place, with 8 wins and 2 losses! We were excited to be the 8th alliance captain, and are excited to go into the playoffs with , 7426, and . We are so grateful to our sponsors, FEDS family, and community members for inspiring us and cheering us on! ❤️🤍💙
