In 2001, Tom McMullen founded an FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team at Tehachapi High School (THS). The team consisted of 20 ambitious high school students who started a legacy at THS that still lives on today. 65% of team members have gone to college, seven of which have received internships in the past summer. Team 585, the Cyber Penguins, proudly carries on that legacy today. Danielle Evansic advises a team consisting of members of various ages with diverse skills to contribute, such as marketing, programming, media, animation, build, fundraising and a website team. Team 585 also has a very involved group of parents helping with trip-planning, fundraising, and everything else to help us succeed. Every year, with input of new minds and advances of old ones, improvements are made to the robot process and the structure of the team.
