About Team 4564
We are FIRST FRC Team 4564, from Brewer High School in Brewer, Maine. Our team was founded in the fall of 2012. The team has built nine FRC competition robots. In the off-season the team works on summer builds, special projects, tool training, Onshape CAD, 3D printing and programming skills. We meet twice a week year round at our robot shop in the Alpha class rooms in the lower level of the Superintendent's office building. During build season, we add a Sunday meeting.
During the Off-season the team looks forward to taking our robots to STEM out-reach programs around our area including the 4th of July parade (an annual favorite), demos for The Challenger Center summer camps, the Brewer Library and Brewer Days, and The Maine Science Festival. Every year we host a annual Craft Fair as our major fund raiser, and host concessions at Rec Track meets during the summer.
We compete in many off-season events Summer Heat with Team 58 at S. Portland High, Mainely Spirit with Team 2640, and Battle of the Bay in Alton NH hosted by BOB Team 319.

What is FIRST you ask?
FIRST is a worldwide program that teaches 8th through 12th grade students, not only hands on electrical, mechanical and computer skills but also communication, business and team working skills. One of our favorite terms from the FIRST community is "Cooperatition ®" which means competing always, but assisting and enabling others when you can. This organization has inspired and changed many kids lives as they have discovered the joy of learning about STEM and about the FIRST competition.
