Our Alumni

Montclair Robotics is very proud of its alumni who endlessly continue to demonstrate the great impact that FIRST has had on them. Many of our alumni have remained involved with the FIRST program by mentoring other teams, volunteering at the tournaments, and, of course, helping out Team 555. Our alumni have always played a very special role on our team and we are looking forward to staying in touch with them! Thank you all for remaining supportive throughout years.
