About The Team

Team 9020, Galatasaray Robotics, is the premier FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team representing the historic Galatasaray High School in Beyoğlu, Istanbul. We are more than a high school club; we are a disciplined organization of future engineers and leaders, uniting the centuries-old legacy of our institution with the cutting-edge technology of the 21st century.

Our mission is defined by four strategic pillars: to master advanced engineering principles, to foster a culture of innovation, to field a championship-caliber robot, and—most importantly—to integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into the fabric of society.

We believe that engineering does not exist in a vacuum; it thrives where technology meets creativity. As a key partner of the Galatasanat Project—Galatasaray High School’s flagship social responsibility initiative—we travel across Turkey to bridge the gap between art and technology. By integrating robotics workshops into art-focused field trips, we bring the "A" in STEAM to life, proving to students in underprivileged regions that coding and creativity are two sides of the same coin.

​Humanitarian Focus: In collaboration with LÖSEV (The Foundation for Children with Leukemia) and the Parıltı Association for the visually impaired, we develop projects that prioritize inclusivity and social benefit over mere technical demonstration.

​Digital Advocacy: We democratize access to knowledge through our Spotify podcast series''What If?''. This platform allows us to host industry experts and discuss technological trends, making complex engineering concepts accessible to a global audience. ​

When the FRC season kicks off, Team 9020 operates with the precision of an industrial R&D firm. From strategic analysis and CAD design to CNC manufacturing and autonomous programming, every step is executed with professional rigor. We do not just build robots; we build a legacy of excellence, guided by the philosophy of "Gracious Professionalism" in every competition we enter.
