Welcome to Team SPORK 3196

Team NASA/Ingersoll Rand/Newell Rubbermaid & Pine Lake Preparatory (Team SPORK) is our FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Rookie Year Team #3196, located in Mooresville, NC. We are 23 high school students from Pine Lake Preparatory, a new public charter school opened as a K-2 in 2007-08 and expanded to K-12 in 2009-10. Ten of us were in Pine Lake's rookie FLL or FTC teams last year. This year we are also mentoring 61 Lego League elementary students, six FLL middle school teams, and our FTC team.

FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization with the goal to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders through immersion in robotics by various age bracketed competitions.
