Team 4470 · Valencia High School
13 seasons of design, building, and competition

Since 2013, Team 4470 TiGears has represented Valencia High School in FIRST Robotics. Every season, students design, machine, wire, and program a competition robot from the ground up — learning engineering, leadership, and gracious professionalism along the way.

Build Season Starts Now

It’s build season again, and TiGears is back in the shop. Over six weeks, students turn a brand-new game manual into a working competition robot — sketching designs, cutting metal, wiring electronics, and writing code late into the evening with help from mentors across the FIRST community.
