Singularity Robotics has no school program behind it, no corporate shop and no building. What it has is 36 students, a two-car garage and, as of this spring, a district event winner's banner.
The team, FIRST Robotics Competition Team 10032, was founded in 2024 by Frisco ISD students, many of whom had been turned away from established robotics programs, according to the team's season magazine. They started their own. Students direct the robot's design, fabrication, programming, fundraising and outreach, the team's media kit says, and adult mentors serve only for legal oversight and guidance.
"No mentors guide our builds. No adults approve our code," the students wrote in the magazine. "This is our team, entirely."
The team builds its competition robots in a garage in Frisco. It recently moved there from a garage in Prosper, which is why its season magazine still names the older town, business team member Ishaan Thakur said. Because 36 students cannot all fit in a two-car garage at once, the magazine says, the team schedules its build in segments and uses the space outside, assembling the shooter in one part of the garage and cutting tubes outdoors.
The record
FIRST's official event records back up the results the team cites. In its rookie season in 2025, Singularity won the Rookie All Star Award at the FIRST In Texas District Manor Event in March, then the District Championship Rookie All Star Award at the state district championship, which carried an automatic berth to the FIRST Championship in Houston. The team competed in the Curie Division there April 16 to 19, 2025, and went 1-9.
This spring, at the FIRST In Texas District Fort Worth Event on March 19 to 21, Singularity ranked 15th of 24 teams in qualification, was chosen as the second pick of Alliance 3, and that alliance won the event. The team went on to earn the Team Sustainability Award at the Dripping Springs district event in April and the Rising All-Star Award at the district championship, finishing 49th of 247 Texas teams in district points.
The 2026 robot is named Orion. It was built for the season's game, called REBUILT, which was revealed Jan. 10.
Arcade cabinets, a children's book and 600 elementary students
Much of what the team does happens away from the competition floor.
For two years the team has partnered with Frisco Ignite, a K-8 STEM program the team says it oversees, to run hands-on STEAM workshops for elementary students, engaging more than 600 K-5 students in its first season with popsicle catapults, elephant toothpaste experiments and robotics demonstrations, according to the magazine.
