Welcome to the website of Team #226, the TEC CReW Hammerheads. We've competed annually in the FIRST Robotics Competition since 1999, making this our 11th year of competition. This year, our team is composed of students from three Troy School District high schools: Troy High School, Athens High School, and International Academy East, one of our science and math magnet schools. We have wonderful mentors from General Motors' Manufacturing Assembly & Automation Center, and the support of many parents and volunteers.
Our team strives to spread the lessons of FIRST to our members, and the surrounding area. To work towards this goal, we hold many events in the community. If you have seen our team in the community recently, it could have been at Troy Daze, our members volunteering with Summer in the City, the SharkFest FLL regional, or possibly at an FRC competition! More information about these events can be found in the events section of our website. We invite everyone to learn more about FIRST and take pictures with our mascot Sharkie at these events.

STIMS Roster Registration & Google Groups Deadline
Hello Hammerheads, please remember to do the following two tasks before you are eligible to go to competitions and more! STIMS [Student Team Information Member System] is the system that FIRST uses to get our team's roster. If you wish to go to the competitions, you MUST do these tasks. The Google Groups is the only way to get emails after January 7th.
Note: The deadline for both of these tasks is before Saturday, January 7th, 2012. Please contact the This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as soon as possible if there are any problems.
Google Groups Sign-up Instructions
You should have already gotten an e-mail regarding this. First, search your e-mail for the invitation. If you didn't get the invitation then email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. [ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
