FIRST Alumni that come to Michigan Tech almost always get involved with Copper Country Robotics as a mentor, volunteer, or robot builder.
We strive to connect the Upper Peninsula with the rest of the FIRST Robotics community every year. You'll see us at local FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST Tech Challenge events, as well as local community events built to make the Upper Peninsula stronger.
Meet with Copper Country Robotics during our General Meetings, or stop by one of our booths at the major campus involvement events!

We're also present at many of the community local events in the area, including the Robot Fair Play booth, Superior MakerFest, Superior Robowork's FRC Kickoff, and more!
Every year, our goal is to engage with more and more FRC teams around the Upper Peninsula. Across the last few years, we've made quite a lasting impact on teams throughout the UP.
We celebrate and recognize our mentors and the teams that allow us to expand and grow the network of engaged FIRST Alumni!
