Team 980 was founded in September 2001 in La Canada-Flintridge, CA, with 10 students and 3 mentors. As of the 2023 build season we have over 30 students and 8 mentors and we are now situated in the STEAM Lab at Burbank HS, the home of the Burbank HS NAF Academy. Our move to BUSD finally brings FRC onto a Burbank campus and our partnership with the Burbank NAF charts a course for Team 980’s sustained growth over the coming years.
Team 980 has a dedicated group of parents and mentors who bring combined decades of expertise to our Design, Fabrication & Assembly, Controls and Business teams.
