Welcome to the RoboScout Squad Website!

We are so happy you are here to learn about RoboScout Squad and FIRST robotics programs.

<post pinned to top>

We are RoboScout Squad, an all Girl Scout FIRST Tech Challenge and LEGO robotics team in Kalispell, Montana. Our team is made up of girls in grades 9-12. We’ve been a team for 5 years and we will start our 3rd FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Season in September. In the past, we have also participated in the NASA NWESSP LEGO robotics challenges. In our first three seasons, we competed in FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and we are the 2020 FLL Montana State Champions. In 2021 we were the second-ranked FTC team in Montana. This year we are both the Inspire Award winners and Winning Alliance Captain and we attended the World Championship in Houston, TX. We don’t just compete, we share our tech with younger Girl Scouts and our community with a goal of increasing enthusiasm for STEM in girls. Scroll through our blog posts and visit our “About Us“, “FTC” and “FLL” pages to learn more.

This website has a host of information for kids, parents, new teams, coaches, volunteers, and sponsors. Our blog page also contains local news stories about the team.

The FLL/FTC resources contained on this page are mostly from FIRST directly. Supplemental info is based on our experience as a new team and is geared toward new teams and coaches. We want to help you get started and grow. We would love more teams to start-up in the Flathead.

If you’d like to support our team and encourage STEM education for girls in the Flathead Valley, let us know by visiting our “Our Sponsors” page or emailing us at: info@roboscoutsquad.com

Thank you for being here with us. We appreciate your support!

Tradition! We stop at Cracker Barrel in Missoula for brunch and always get a team photo sitting in the rocking chairs. We made it safe to MT Tech. Qualifier Tournament tomorrow. We are getting the final tweaks in before our Saturday qualifier! 🤩 All the print jobs have gone to the print shop, we are almost packed, we’ve gotten as much driver practice as we’re gonna get, and we’ll get the last auto code tweaked tomorrow night. 💜🖤💜🖤💜 Happy 13th Anniversary Tangled! Our favorite artistic princess and her supportive sidekick are the inspiration for our Center Stage season. Happy Thanksgiving! We successfully hosted our first scrimmage! Great job everyone! Thank you Nichole for your guidance and all the volunteers for helping make this event happen! Thank you @synergetix.inc for sponsoring the event! Thank you Mr. Honcoop and @wvstechwarriors for helping out! And thank you everyone for coming: @ehackers8271 @lazer_sharks_in_space_10662 @7002.couch.potatoes @logger.robotics NIRB and Panther Robotics. We hope everyone had fun, learned a bit more about the game and came away with ideas for your robots and strategy. The edited event video is posted on our lnk.bio and YouTube channel. We are so excited to host the NW Montana Scrimmage tomorrow! Thank you everyone who helped setup tonight! We’ll be at West Valley School tomorrow. Matches from 12:30-3:00, everyone is welcome to come watch. Thank you @wvstechwarriors for letting us use your gym and thank you @synergetix.inc for sponsoring the event! Lillie’s testing an early concept for a future intake revision. Result, it will work! Zia got a rough draft done of the presentation script. Marin got our autonomous code to recognize the team props and their location. And it wouldn’t be close to a competition for us without a major motor failure, so instead of drive practice tonight, Kennedy had to swap a motor on one of our hang arms. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Woohoo!!! Team Props are trained!!! Time to modify the code and test! #FTCMachineLearning Everyone’s working super hard to make changes to Pascal after the Post Falls scrimmage. The Kalispell scrimmage is in 6 days. After that, 3 weeks til Qualifier 1. Some changes are baby steps on our way to the next iteration, some are functional improvements. We also spent time today training Pascal to recognize our prop.
