Our Mission Statement

“To equip and enrich all team members with useful knowledge and experience for the future."

We are Team 1710, a FIRST Robotics Competition team from Olathe Northwest High School. Founded in 2005 with just 22 team members, we’re now 53 strong. Olathe Northwest’s Engineering and E-Communication academies have developed a strong foundation for 1710’s success. Our core values – Commitment, Hands-On Experience, Inspiration, Gracious Professionalism, Student Leadership, and Safety (CHIGSS) – help us achieve our mission of preparing our team members for the future.

Team 1710 provides many outlets for each of its members. Through our nine subteams including build, programming, informatics, and graphic design, our team has something for everyone. No matter where their passion lies, we provide a constructive environment for team members to grow and improve upon their skills. From working towards a common goal to hosting annual summer camps, Team 1710 has a positive impact on everyone who passes through its doors.
