Teams We Support

Red Storm Robotics realizes the importance of helping other robotics teams in the community. As a result, all three Kentwood middle schools have hosted FIRST robotics teams. Currently, Pinewood Middle School has two FIRST Lego League (FLL) teams. Kentwood also operates a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team (part of the Michigan prototype).  We are very proud of all these teams and their performance at competitions!

Teams We Started

  • West Michigan Aviation Academy Aviators
  • East Grand Rapids

Current Red Storm teams:

We support our other Kentwood FIRST teams in various ways:

  • Student mentors at their team practices
  • Hosting an FLL scrimmage prior to their competition
  • Demonstrated high school robot to the teams
  • Hosting the Kentwood FTC regional with 33 teams from around West Michigan
