The Raiders are a small group of technically enthused students whom all share a common interest in the fields of science, mathematics, technology, electronics, and robotics. Our team consists of a total of fifth-teen students and seven hands on team mentors. The team is then divided up into four subdivisions consisting of a mechanical team, an electronics team, a programming team, and an animation and web design team. In this section of the site you can find personal information and photos from the students and mentors themselves, and information on all of the different branches of sub teams.

Team: Raiders

The Raiders are FIRST Robotics Team 1518, situated at the Pal-Mac High School located in Palmyra, New York. The team was founded early in the autumn of the 2005 FIRST Robotics season with the help of several local community businesses and a variety of community sponsors. The team includes a total of eleven student members from grades nine through twelve, and seven team mentors; all of which can be found listed below. Our generous community volunteers range in several of the technological fields, from mechanical, to electrical, to programming, to even animation and web design.
