About Lunatecs 316
History
The Salem County Robotics Team 316 began in 1999 with seven students and four mentors through a partnership with local businesses and educators.
Salem County is a rural , agricultural area located in the southwest corner of New Jersey and our students come from high schools throughout the county. The students and mentors work hard to form friendships and bonds that are strong, just not on the playing field, but continue after they leave the team.
The LuNaTeCs remain one of the smaller teams in FIRST with 10-15 students. The small size of our team allows each team member to be an integral part of the robot design, build and strategy getting “hands on” experience.
In 2008 the team incorporated to a non for profit organization – South Jersey Robotics, Inc.
