DARC Robotics is...
DARC Robotics is a high school robotics program formed 2008 as a partnership between Decatur City School's two robotics programs, Decatur High School Robotics and Austin High School Robotics. DARC utilizes the talents of students from both schools to produce and market robots through the Engineering, Technology, and Creative Design departments of the team. DARC also participates in local team building activities and engineering workshops for elementary schools in the community. DARC will be participating in FIRST's "Breakaway" competition this Spring at the Clemson hub. Stay tuned and check darcrobotics.org for updates on news and information from DARC Robotics.
