  • Congratulations on team Spike making it to the Quarter-Finals at Hatboro-Horsham!
    • There's only a week until our competition at Lenape on March 24th and 25th! Be prepared!

             Hopewell Valley's Robotics team, Team 293 (affectionately nicknamed S.P.I.K.E.) was founded eleven years ago and is proud to have been a long-time supporter of the FIRST vision:

    "To create a world where science and technology are celebrated... where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes"

                                        -Dean Kamen, FIRST founder

          The FIRST Robotics competition challenges teams from all over the world to build a robot in order to participate in a challenge. The rules change immensely from year to year and are presented each January by a committee of engineers and other professionals. The catch? We have six weeks to do it.

          Team 293, or SPIKE, participates each year in the FIRST Robotics New Jersey Regional and in a regional in Maryland or Pennsylvania and has performed quite well, even achieving first place! On successful years SPIKE is able join the National competition as well.

          Despite being highly competitive and work-oriented, members become friends over the long hours and have tons of fun!
