FIRST Robotics Competition Team 4118: Roaring Riptide
The students on Roaring Riptide: FRC Team 4118, strive to raise awareness and excitement in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math – through our local community, state, and national outreach efforts. We believe our outreach efforts help to foster the acquisition of softer skills such as teamwork, work ethics, flexibility, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, and adaptability.
FIRST Robotics Competition Team 4118: Roaring Riptide provides an outlet for students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), in which they learn essential skills and the greater impact they can have on people through those skills, to ultimately inspire and encourage every member to pursue STEM in its many disciplines.

FIRST Robotics Competition Team 4118: Roaring Riptide
Roaring Riptide: FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 4118, was founded in 2011 at P.K. Yonge DRS in Gainesville, Florida. Though we’ve had many successes as a team, we’re most proud of our work in Assistive Technology. In 2019, we founded our #FIRSTwithAT program and have gained the support and recognition from 4 local college student organizations, as well as national organizations for our work. In addition to these partnerships, the students of Roaring Riptide contributed over 4500 hours to promote STEM education, assistive technology outreach, and within the other FIRST program levels.
