Meet Our Team
We are Steel Boot Robotics, a small team from Salinas California. Originally starting in 2017 our team got off to a blazing start earning themselves a place in the FRC world championships in 2019, their 3rd season! Unfortunately COVID did a hard reset to our team. Over the almost 2 years our school was out we lost most of our members and Coaches. Our Current Head mentor Ryan Sullivan came in at the end of the 2021 - 2022 season ready to work. From the 2022 season we have grown from a team of 2 people to a team of 12. We are eager to continue to grow and be a driving force for STEM studies at our school!
