Team 2876 is a FIRST Robotics team from Burlington High School in Burlington, Massachusetts. We are known as the DevilBotz, a name we take from the Burlington High mascot, the Red Devil. We have been competing in FIRST since 2009.
None of this would have been possible without our mentors, who give us something we, as students, can never give back: time. The same goes to our sponsors, whose generosity allows continuous productivity during our six-week build season.
