Welcome

 

Over the past nine years the South Grand Prairie High School’s robotics team has been able to completely embody the meaning of FIRST. Team 704 exhibits gracious professionalism in everything we do. We make sure we have fun while learning about the engineering process, science, and technology, and are outspoken about their importance to modern society. We take pride in our appearance; we put a lot of effort into designing and building and it shines through in our beautiful and robust robots. We have dedicated students that are strongly interested in science and technology. Most of our alumni team members are actively pursuing degrees in science and engineering and come back year after year to mentor our team. We have continuously promoted FIRST and science and technology to students and adults alike in our community. We network with professional companies, getting them involved with FIRST just as we are, and getting our students connections that they will possess for the rest of their lives.

 

In the 2009 season, for the first time, Team 704 Warriors participated in two FIRST Robotics regionals - the new Dallas Regional at SMU's Moody Coliseum (March 12-14) and the Lone Star Regional in Houston, TX (March 26-28). The Warriors finished the Dallas Regional qualification rounds seeded sixth out of fifty participating teams, and proceed to the elimination matches alongside Team 476 and Team 2352. After three tight matches, the alliance lost in the quarterfinals, but the 704 robot took home the General Motors Industrial Design Award for its elegant design and simplicity. Just two weeks later, the SGP Warriors celebrated their first regional championship since 2001, with Team 1421 and alliance captain, Team 2587, at the Lone Star Regional. The robot's robust design in concept won over the hearts of a second set of judges in Houston, as the team took home the Motorola Quality Award. On April 16-18, also for the first time, Team 704 traveled to the FIRST World Championships at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA.

In 2010 we will again compete at the Dallas Regional on March 18 -20 at Moody Colosseum, and in the Lone Star Regional at Houston on April 1-3.
