Our FIRST team began in 1997 as a joint venture between the Delphi Corporation and our school. The initial FIRST team initially consisted of six teachers from Buena Vista High School, six engineers from Delphi Corporation, and thirty eager high school students. The initial name for our team was the Delphi Knights. At this time Excalibur robot was born.

Delphi Corporation and Introduction of Dow Promise Volunteers

In 2000, Dow Chemical Company - through Dow Promise - sent volunteers to participate with Delphi volunteers and our team members in robot assembly, design, and programming. Although in 2001, the Delphi Corporation ventured on to sponsor another FIRST team, we were fortunate enough to keep Dow Chemical as a sponsor and also gain additional sponsors. During this time, our team name was changed to the Robotic Knights.

In 2005, Dow Chemical and the Knights entered a cooperative effort with Team 703 Team Phoenix involving team design, robot and game strategy, fundraising, and socials. Delphi also returned to the Knights as a sponsor. The knights are looking forward to their most successful season ever.
