How To Join

Lightning Robotics is open to any high school aged student in the Plymouth-Canton area. You are not required to be a Plymouth-Canton Educational Park or Plymouth-Canton Community Schools student. 8th Grade members are admitted on a limited case by case basis with approval of team leadership. Students are encouraged to join early in the school year to maximize their experiences on the team.

Team meetings are being held every Wednesday. Please see the team calendar for more details.

Registration for the 2023-24 season has ended but check back here in the fall of 2024 join for the 2024-25 season.

Joining the robotics team was one of the best decisions I made in high school. I met a great group of friends and learned a lot of valuable technical and soft skills. This program opened many doors for me that I would never have had. Anyone who has interests in engineering or business should try joining the robotics team and join a great community of like minded students.
