The Notre Dame Robotics Team encourages girls to explore various STEAM pathways as they build a robot for the FIRST Robotics Competition. The Janksters, also known as FRC Team 1967, focus on maintaining a student-focused team and student-built robot with mentors in guiding and supporting roles. The team is made up of four committees: electronics, business, mechanical and programming allowing students to explore a variety of facets of engineering and business. The team is open to all interested Notre Dame students regardless of experience.

2025 - 2026 Information

The robotics team participates in the FIRST Robotics Competition, where a new challenge is presented to the 3000+ teams globally every January. This year, the team will compete in Rebuilt, a challenge focused on scoring Fuel (6" Dodgeballs) in a "Hub" target zone, navigating obstructions such as a Bump and Trench, as well as suspending off of a "Tower" consisting of metal rungs. You can view the details of this year's challenge below.
