Truck Town Thunder Robotics team is an internationally competing robotics team. The team is made up of students and teachers from Brandon High School and Holly High School as well as members of the professional community. Many volunteers work closely with students to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition.

Truck Town Thunder participates in accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in STEM, while building self-confidence, knowledge, critical thinking and life skills. 

The FIRST official mission:
"[To] inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics skills that inspire innovation, and that foster well rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership."
