FIRST Robotics Team “12 Volt Bolt” is composed of FRC (First Robotics Competition) Team 1557 and FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) Team 5012. Our clubhouse is located in downtown Eustis, Florida. We have members from Lake County Schools such as Mt. Dora High, Tavares High, Mt. Dora Bible, and homeschooled students.

We have been competing in FRC since 2005, and our rookie year for FTC Competition was 2011. There are several subteams that make up 12 Volt Bolt including mechanical, electrical, programming, website, awards, marketing design, public relations, and outreach. In addition to building robots, we also have a strong community presence! 12 Volt Bolt participates in events such as Mt. Dora Fourth of July Parade, Triangle Elementary Science Fair, and Eustis Street Fest.
