Our History
Burlington Community Robotics (BCR) was founded in May 2024 following the conclusion of a local high school’s FIRST Robotics program. Mentors from the original program came together to keep the legacy of FRC team 2200 going with a vision of creating a new hub for the community focused on STEM education centred on Robotics and related skills.
Our FRC Team, 2200 BCR Blackout, has achieved significant success, including 9 FRC event wins since 2019 and a Provincial Championship in 2023. The team has consistently received awards for Industrial Design, Autonomous capabilities, Quality, Creativity, Innovation in Control, and Excellence in Engineering. In 2025, the team finished 2nd on the Hopper Field at the World Championships in Houston, TX.

Sustainability
We’re working to build on the foundation created in 2024 and attract new sponsors & supporters to ensure BCR remains an accessible & sustainable organization that can continue to serve the community for many years to come.
Grow our Team
BCR is rooted in bringing FRC and other STEM activities to students in the Burlington area.
For our 2026 season we are targeting to grow our FRC team to 50 students.
Community Outreach
BCR receives a lot of interest in attending events, demoing the team’s capabilities and giving people a chance to experience driving the bots. We’re fundraising to build a set of bots designed to be suitable for operation in a variety of environments to help further spread the joy of FRC & robotics in the community.
