This team regularly brings home the bacon when it comes to FIRST Robotics Competition awards and recognition. Meet team1902 Exploding Bacon, a 4H Club robotics team from Orlando, FL!


Exploding Bacon – now in its 20th Season! – is a diverse team of 44 students from 14 schools across 5 counties, including public, private, and homeschooled students. We lead two international outreach programs: #FIRSTLikeAGirl and Spark Science Kits, spreading STEM worldwide. Our bright, colorful robots are always easy to find on the field.

Team 1902 is sponsored by the Department of Defense, NBCUniversal/Comcast, Rockwell Automation, Novalis, Gene Haas, Lockheed Martin, and SIM Central Florida.

Watch these pigs fly at the ROBOTICON off-season this weekend, November 2 & 3, at University Mall, from 11 am to 5 pm each day. The event is free and open to the public!
