- Team 573 - Mech Warriors - About The Team
Who is Team 573?
Team 573 is composed of students from both Marian and Brother Rice High Schools, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The two schools share a foundation of ideals based on promoting strong personal values and academic achievement. As much a family as a team, the Mech Warriors unite students from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to create a warm, welcoming environment.
Recognized "Varsity Sport of the Mind"
Brother Rice High School has supported the Mech Warriors by providing them with a dedicated space on campus. Students who participate actively with the Robotics team for two years are recognized with Varsity letters from their respective school. In recognition of their success, students received a day off for the victory at the 2007 Great Lakes Regional, an honor typically reserved for championship athletic teams.
