Our Story
When Chantilly Robotics started in 2001, it was a small engineering project of only eight students. Today, Chantilly Robotics Team 612 is an organization that consistently has over 100 members each year who work year-round on numerous projects, ranging from consistently hosting FLL tournaments and camps in the Northern Virginia area to speaking to top defense manufacturing companies about the virtues of FIRST and STEM values on a national level.

Team 612 is more than just a robotics team. It is an organization dedicated to fostering the love of STEM in our youth. Team 612’s structure enables our members to gain valuable skills needed to build a strong robot that is capable of competing at the FRC World Championship in 2018 and rank first in the CHS District in 2019. Our strong foundations have allowed us to build a better and more involved community through outreach efforts to promote the values of FIRST and STEM.

In 2018, Team 612 created a mission statement to unify the team in direction and purpose:
We brighten the future for our leaders and student technologists within our team, school, and community through fun and engaging methods of learning and teaching while shining a light on the importance of STEAM.
Since then, Team 612 embodies the mission statement in how it approaches both members of the team and members of the community, aiming to ever brighten the future.
