What is Sparky?

Sparky is the name of our robot. Each year a new robot is designed, built, and tested by our students and mentors. This is our thirteenth year of competition, and for Rebound Rumble, we are building Sparky 13.

Who are we?

We are about 40 spirited, creative students from John Randolph Tucker High School in Henrico, Virginia.

Mission Statement

"To provide a FUN and stimulating problem solving experience for every team member. We are dedicated to designing and implementing an innovative approach to the overall FIRST challenge. All team members will utilize gracious professionalism during the phases of creation, construction, and completion. Our alliance with the community provides ample opportunities for students, mentors, sponsors, and parents."

What's with the tiger paw?

The tiger paw and lightning bolt are our way of representing our school's mascot at J.R. Tucker, as well as Sparky, our robot. The tiger brings with it the colors of our uniforms, robot and other items that are team related. We feel that by using our school's mascot and our robot's name we are unifying the school in the process of building and maintaining our FIRST Robotics Team.

How do I join?

If you are interested in joining Team 384, please contact Mr. Daniels, Room 96 before or after school at J.R. Tucker High School, or contact us.
