Welcome
The DARC SIDE is a high-school robotics team started in 2016 from Durham, NC. We have a “work hard, play hard” mentality and seek to teach about robotics through competing in the annual FIRST Robotics Competition.
“Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get.”

2022 in Review
Our 2022 season was an incredible year. In many ways this year was similar to a rookie year for us. With Covid preventing FIRST from being able to run we only had three members on our team that had experienced a normal year. We all learned so much while building Spinshot and had a a great time building connections within our team. Spinshot won second place in both of our district events and made it to the North Carolina state competition.
