This literary-sounding team – team 5276 The Edgar Allan Ohms robotics team – was the first FIRST Robotics
Competition team that was started and operated out of a public library, headquartered at the Land O’Lakes Public Library in Pasco County for its first five years.
In 2019, the team moved to the Advanced Manufacturing & Robotics Center (AMRoC) Fab Lab, in Tampa. A program of the nonprofit Foundation for Community Driven Innovation, whose members had long mentored the team. The Ohms’ continues its legacy of public accessibility, providing inclusive opportunities for more youth to become involved in FIRST Robotics Competition.
Team 5276 is sponsored by Symbotic, Lockheed Martin, Florida High Tech Corridor, Bay Area Manufacturers Association, SOFWERX, Analog Devices, Suncoast Credit Union, Gene Haas Foundation, Consumers Energy, Certus Corp, NeuroEM, FCDI and AMRoC Fab Lab.
