We are officially 4 weeks into the build season. Our team started manufacturing and assembling the launcher for our robot. After some testing, we are working on a spindexer mechanism for indexing the fuel. Intake finalized the needed dimensions and are getting close to the final version. Scouting is finishing up the new scouting engine and working on the safety manual. Programming fixed issues with April Tag code, making the turning smoother. They have also been working on the robot system ID. Outreach submitted our Woodie Flowers essay and are working on our Impact Essay and Executive Summaries.
Welcome!
We are a group of high school students and adult volunteers that learn, explore, and celebrate science and technology. Through the international organization FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology, we build a robot to compete each year. We experience excitement of the challenge, create life-long relationships, and have fun. But we do much more than that. Through collaboration and leadership from students and mentors, ours students develop work ethic, professionalism, and pride.
Our team encourages younger students to experience the same excitement of engineering through programs like FLL and VEX. The Waukesha VEX League Competition and League Nights are hosted by our team. Along with VEX, we also hold FLL competitions and encourage members to mentor FLL teams. In both of these venues, and in many others, we display our robot and enlighten them about FRC. Through this, we excite, inspire and celebrate engineering.

REBUILT Kickoff Overview:
This past Saturday, FIRST revealed the challenge for the 2026 FRC game, REBUILT. CORE spent the first half of the day at Mukwonago High school attending workshops. After the game release, we spent time collaborating with other FRC teams and came back with multiple ideas on how to succeed in this year’s game. In the early afternoon, we returned to South High School and went over safety presentations and strategized plans for the robot game. We look forward to overcoming the challenges of the game!
2025-2026 CORE 2062 Fall Interest Night
It’s been 5 months since our FIRST competition season ended, and we have been busy over the summer doing outreaches at the Waukesha County Fair, Monday Night Movie of Wild Robot, and more. We also had fun – and did well – in the 2 offseason competition events we attended.
On Tuesday, September 9th, at 6pm, we will be hosting our CORE Fall Interest Night. The event will be held in Room 108 at Waukesha South High School (enter through outside Door #5, near the corner of Tenny and Roberta Ave,). All high school students in the Waukesha school district are invited to learn more about our team – CORE (Community of Robotics Engineers) – and the organization of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). There will be hands-on activities as you learn about the different subteams of CORE.
Please sign up at Fall Interest Night Sign Up to help us plan.
We look forward to meeting you on Sept 9th!
2025 Summer Offseason Events – MROC (Mukwonago Robotics Offseason Competition) and LRR (Leviathan Robotics Rampage)
In late July, our team competed at MROC in Mukwonago. At the end of qualifiers, we were ranked 9th and became the captain of the 6th seed alliance. We selected 930 Mukwonago BEARs and 6421 WarriorBots as our alliance partners. Unfortunately, each of the robots in our alliance had difficulties in the 2nd match of the playoffs, so our playoffs were short-lived.
In mid-August, we did an overnight trip to Eau Claire to compete in the second annual LRR Offseason event. At the end of qualifying matches, we were ranked 5th and became the 4th seed alliance captain. After selecting 5826 Avis Automata and 9996 as our alliance partners, we won 2 of our playoff matches, but lost in the semifinals. We had lots of fun with the other teams at the event and were excited about our robot’s success. Congrats to 8744 Leviathans for winning their own event!
