ABOUTUS
We are team 6547 the Cobalt Colts, a neighborhood team from Overland Park, KS. We have 12 teammates--mostly juniors--from 4 different high schools throughout the Blue Valley School District. We consider ourselves to be a neighborhood team. We currently meet in an empty office space that we are renting, and are able to accomplish lots despite our less-than-professional workshop. Our team is completely student inspired, and every single person on our team brings something unique and special.
Ever since becoming a neighborhood team, we have taken pride in our initiatives to spread STEM and FIRST programs throughout our community--specifically across our home state of Kansas. We have developed partnerships with many local companies and fellow FIRST teams, which have enabled us to open up our projects to a much larger group of people.
