Team 271, the Mechanical Marauders, was founded in 1998 as the “Bell Atlantic Robotics Team.” In 2000, we became known as the Mechanical Marauders. Since our inception, we have grown from a small group of 15 students to a thriving team of nearly 70 members from Bay Shore Senior High School and Bay Shore Middle School. Over the years, we have achieved numerous milestones and have been recognized for our excellence in various aspects of robotics and community engagement.
