Meet 4572!

Barlow Robotics, FRC Team 4572, is a dedicated FRC team located in rural Connecticut. This year marks 12 years of our team making and designing robots! We may be small, but our list of achievements certainly isn’t! Last season, we won the Imagery Award at the NE Waterbury Event.

We have three central departments: Electronic Systems, Mechanical Systems, and Outreach, each playing a vital role in our team's success. See below for descriptions of each.

Our impact on STEM reaches beyond the bounds of our school, however. Our team actively engages with the community, showcasing robots at various events and volunteering at local races, inspiring the youth to pursue STEM interests.

We place immense value on leadership, empowering every student to take initiative and contribute meaningfully. Together, we aim to inspire a passion for robotics and technology, creating a future generation of innovators and community leaders.
