Information for NEw Students & Parents
Pearadox Robotics is a year-round program. We recruit new team members during the summer and fall, but do outreach and robotics every month. Below is the presentation for new members and general team information. Have additional questions about joining the team? Please check out our FAQ.
Both the student and parent registration must be filled out before coming to meetings or added to Slack. New students should go to the TRI off-season competition with their parents and start coming to meetings on June 17th, 2026 at Turner High School. A separate robotics team application is due at the end of August each year. Additional date and time information can be found on the calendar, here.
