Who Are We?
Who Are We?
We are FRC Team 2358 Bearbotics from Lake Zurich High School in Lake Zurich, IL. We have competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) with our robot, Smokey, since 2008.
What Is FRC?
What Is FRC?
Under guidance from professional and alumni mentors, FRC teams race to engineer an industrial-size robot in just 3 months, then compete against other teams from around the globe.
What Do We Do?
What Do We Do?
We give students experience with practical STEM skills like running CNC mills, drilling holes, learning C++ and soldering wires. They also learn about strategy, project management, and teamwork.
Our team goal is to ensure every student receives the opportunities to learn in STEM. We strive to give our students these opportunities to grow their knowledge and interest in engineering, getting them interested in STEM career paths and giving them foundational skills they will continue to use when they join the workforce.

Smokey 19.
Smokey 19.
Designed for the 2026 REBUILT season, Smokey 19 is a trench bot featuring a turreted shooter, a gear-train-driven indexer and an innovative indexer subsystem that leverages a Geneva mechanism, "deviled egg tray" feeder and integrated kicker.Â
Our three-camera vision system and software approach allows for sophisticated autonomous routes and field navigation, including a driver control to automatically adjust alignment to the trench and bump within defined zones to aid in driving accuracy. Our turreted shooter is programmed to always point at the Hub so that it can be ready to score fuel at any time without requiring driver input for aiming.
We were proud to partner with 8880 Terra Cyborg and 3067 Robovikes as Captain of Alliance 6 at the 2026 Midwest Regional!
