Mission Statement: River City Robots' mission is to expose St. Charles County students to engineering through collaboration with business professionals in the FIRST Foundation robotic competitions and related activities.

"It important to provide our children with a good character model. It is also very important to bring up scientists and engineers who will maintain our standard of living and our freedom. Both ideals are met in the FIRST Robotics Program." Ron Tustison, Major (ret. USAF) Grandfather, Christian, Mentor for River City Robot FRC #1094

What an exciting off-season for FIRST in St. Louis!!!

Team 1094 joined several other local teams at the St. Louis Science Center's International Science Fair SciFest09 where Dean Kamen was a guest Speaker. We were among the first to hear the FIRST Robotics Championship competition was coming to HERE for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons. Hats off to the St. Louisans who were able to convince the FIRST organization that St. Louis is not only the Gateway to the West but also the Gateway to the Future!

"Crater Cat" gets an offseason upgrade

We were very sad to not make the IRI this year. The demand to get into IRI shows what a great event this has come to be. During the wait we were able to successfully  reconfigured the Crater Cat into a front shooter.  It appeared that all this work was just for the exercise of doing it until we were accepted to compete at the Cow town ThrowDown in KC In November. We took a group with a couple of veterans and many rookies and had a great time, gaining some very valuable driver practice for the future. The Crater Cat performed very well! Team 1094 would like to thank team 1730 and all the people who made this offseason event so much fun.
