WHO ARE THE CYBERCATS

Old Westbury, New York

Our Story

Since 2009, we've been more than just a robotics team. We're a group of students, mentors, and families who believe engineering can change the world.

From our first wobbly robot to our 2022 Regional Championship, every challenge has taught us something new about teamwork, innovation, and never giving up.
