FIRST Team 456 is located in Vicksburg, Mississippi. We are composed of students from Warren Central High School, Vicksburg High School, St. Aloysius High School, Porters Chapel Academy, and home school students. Team 456 began participating in FIRST Robotics Competition in 2000! We have participated in competitions in Fayetteville, Arkansas; New Orleans, Louisiana; Orlando, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas, and Denver, Colorado. We construct our robot and meet at the Engineering and Research Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg. We strive to build a quality robot, provide hands on educational experiences for young people, and promote science and engineering in our local community.
