Synergy
Synergy is a robotics organization founded at Gregory-Portland High School. Throughout the year we design and program robots for the annual FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competition for FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge).

We all hold Synergy close to our hearts and what it means to us can be summed up into three things: teamwork, motivation, and love. Teamwork brings us closer together and assists us in getting as much work done together as possible. Our motivation pushes us to strive to be better after each competition and never becoming complacent. The love our team shares for other teams, mentors, sponsors, and each other helps us understand others and maintain a mutual respect for each other and other teams.
Gracious Professionalism is a FIRST value that we implement into all of our interactions in and outside of robotics. We understand how important it is to treat others with respect and have fun in all that we do for FTC competitions. Our team loves to meet with fellow teams from other schools and even our own school. We often have practice competitions with other Synergy teams as a way to motivate us and to share our modifications.

Events
The invitational UIL State Championship. Teams who proceeded to the Regional Championships are chosen to be invited to this event. Ever since the announcement of us making it to the UIL State Championship we are redesigning our robot and making it more efficient.
The Central Texas Regional Championship that determines who goes to Worlds. There are 40 plus teams competing to advance to the Worlds championship as well as be invited to the State Championship. Only 8 teams are able to advance to the World Championship
We go to the local middle school and participate in different stations that teach kids about technology and robotics. We also have fun with them by playing basketball, four square, and various sports.
We are having a local tournament with all of our teams and we invited Moody High School. This is an organized event and allows us to better our relations with Moody High School and build each other up by making a competitive but friendly environment. We invited a few other teams in our district but they were not able to make it.
A showcase of careers, companies, and industries. This showcase gives the ability for people to meet and learn about companies and industry pros. Big companies like Cheniere, CTIGO and many more will be there
The District Championship that determines who goes to Regionals. This championship consisted of 30 plus teams competing for a spot in Regionals. Only 10 teams can advance this year.
We provide drinks for the people who participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. This event is a tree to five mile walk that is inspiring and gives an opportunity to unite as a community to honor the survivors of breast cancer.
We wait for First to kickoff their new game and announce it. Once the game is released we have 24 hours to brainstorm and create a fully functioning robot for the game.
