History 

The Fighting Pi is a FIRST Robotics Competition level team based out of Armada, MI. We originally formed in 2005 with two mentors and 15 team members.  Our first competition season was Aim High in 2006 where The Fighting Pi did exactly that - aim high for the future of our team! The Fighting Pi has since grown into an award-winning, world-class program that our team is proud to participate in.
