Team Paradox is a student-run FIRST Robotics Competition Team founded in 2006 at San Dieguito Academy. The team is an inclusive, no-cut school club with more than 70 student members and 25 volunteer mentors. Each year our students design and build a competition-ready robot to achieve the season’s game objectives while learning real-world skills along the way and sharing our team’s knowledge and enthusiasm with our community. 

Fundraising

Our team is currently having one of our best seasons in all of our 20-year history! While this success brings many new opportunities for every student on our team, it also entails expenses. To keep our team running with the same momentum we've seen this year, we rely entirely on the generosity of our community. To learn more about how you can contribute to our team and become a part of our success story, visit our Donations page.
