About Us

We are Raptor Force Engineering, Team 1662, from Jim Elliot Christian High School in Lodi, California.

Our School is named after the Missionary Jim Elliot who was martyred in the jungles of Ecuador.

In the fall of 2004, with a donation from the late Doug Buhr, Raptor Force Engineering, Team 1662, became a team.

Our goal is to keep Christ the center as we work together to create a robot to compete in the FIRST Robotics competition, and along the way to learn the many manual skills and life skills that come through the process.

2005 was our rookie year.  We finished 26 at the Davis-Sacramento  Regional but we had a lot of fun.

In 2006 we won the Davis-Sacramento Regional along with Team 1726, Buena High School, Sierra Vista, AZ and Team 852, The Athenian School, Danville, CA.

2007 Davis-Sacramento semifinalist, Atlanta World Championship participant.
