Welcome to the IRS! This is the official web site for Issaquah High School's robotics team, the Issaquah Robotics Society. We are FIRST Robotics Team 1318.

We are a group of students and mentors who meet at Issaquah High School to learn about and build robots. We compete in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition, in which we get 6 weeks to design, build, and program a robot to compete with and against other high school teams at a 3-day regional event. The challenge is different every year, but our skills continue to grow as our team gains experience.

We meet weekly during the school year (and daily during the build period). Look for us in P-23 after school. See our team page for additional details. 

Our high school ran a regional qualification event for FIRST LEGO League (FLL) middle school teams. That competition, for students 9-14 years old, has team members build and program LEGO Mindstorms robots and present a report on their research of a topic related to the competition's theme. Read about FLL and other robotics programs on our outreach page.

2009-2010 season

New Members: If you have an interest in robots, design, building, electronics, programming, or just hanging out with some pretty cool people, come join us after school in S-1 and see what robotics is all about. See our schedule page for upcoming meetings. You are welcome to join in at any time.
