Burlington Community Robotics (BCR) was founded in May 2024 following the conclusion of a local high school’s FIRST Robotics program.
Mentors from the original program came together to keep the legacy of FRC team 2200 going with a vision of creating a new hub for the community focused on STEM education centred on Robotics and related skills.
An award-winning entry.
Our FRC Team, 2200 BCR Blackout, has achieved significant success, including 9 FRC event wins since 2019 and a Provincial Championship in 2023.
The team has consistently won awards for Industrial Design, Autonomous capabilities, Quality, Creativity, Innovation in Control, and Excellence in Engineering.
In 2025, the team finished 2nd on the Hopper Field at the World Championships in Houston, TX.
