We are TorBots. Founded in 2002, our team has grown to include roughly 70 students from South, West, North, and Torrance High Schools. Our mission is striving to promote gracious professionalism, improve teamwork skills and kindle appreciation for STEM subjects in high school students enrolled in TUSD. TorBots members return every year for what they consider to be a unique experience. TorBots is a "student-run, student-done" team, but we are fortunate to have support from our dedicated mentors and parents. Our build season starts in January and concludes with competitions in March and April, and during the summer, we focus on community outreach, fundraising, and welcoming new members. All interested students are welcome as long as they show enthusiasm, optimism and commitment.

Our Team

Innovation

Our engineering team focuses on proper innovation and aims for the most efficient designs in our projects. Their ideas help the rest of the team create proper functions around the common goal of success in real life situations.

Creativity

Our programming team uses Java to write the code for our robots, and fixes all of the problems that can’t be fixed with a hammer or a wrench.

Persistence

Our Business Operations team handles our finances and sponsorships. They are hardworking and adaptive to the situation the team goes through. They also help make sure that there will be enough money to make the year productive.
