Welcome to the official website of the Full Metal Jackets, a robotics team comprised of students and teachers from Rockwall High School, volunteer mentors and Team 1296 alumni. Each year through the FIRST Robotics Competition, volunteer engineers, high school students, and community members join together to build a robot that will perform specific tasks or “games”. Through this building process student’s brainstorm, prototype, design, and create a robot that will perform specific tasks.  Students, volunteer mentors, and teachers dedicate countless hours during build season in order to consistently compete at the highest level of FRC.  FIRST Robotics inspires students to pursue careers in science and technology. Teamwork, organizational skills, and gracious professionalism enable students to take classroom concepts and apply them to real world situations.
