We <3 Robots!


The Short Circuits is a team from City Charter High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We compete in the FIRST® Robotics Competition, a competition that challenges high school students from all over the world to create a fully functional robot in 6 weeks. We try to spread the spirit of FIRST throughout our school and community.
"I can count on them to show up with a working robot, with many students in their signature pink t-shirts, and with enthusiastic support for FIRST." - Patricia DePra, Regional Director
We are part of the Steel City Robotics Alliance (www.steelcityrobotics.org).

We were in a fierce struggle with our camera on our robot. It refused to let us see through it. So we spend two hours fixing it, now it works!
