My Niece is from Surprise AZ and her son is interested in joining a team. Is there a team nearby or in Surprise? If so, I need contact info! Thanks for the help!

I couldn’t find any actually in Surprise, but I found a bunch that seem to be fairly close. Try usingFIRST’s team + event search! Good luck!

While my team is not as close as some may be, I am a mentor for AZ Community Robotics, or better known as “Team Caution.” We have students from all around the Phoenix metro area. We meet at one of the Microchip warehouses near the I-10 and 143.

If you would like to talk more, please send me a PM with your email. I may be able to track down contact information for teams closer to you as well.

I’m the lead mentor for team 2662 out of Tolleson High School, and am an alumni of 498 out of Cactus High School and know most of the mentors on that team well. Teams in Phoenix’s far West Valley have unfortunately not fared well over the years and we are probably the only 2 teams within a 30 minute drive of Surprise (5043, which was in Peoria just outside of Surprise, only lasted the 2014 season). Both of our teams I’m sure would love to have them join or can try to help in starting a team up in Surprise for next season if he is interested in that.

I’ll send you a PM also, feel free to reach out to me for more information.
