Welcome!

A bit about us...

Team 3688, Norsemen Robotics was founded in 2011 by a group of dedicated mentors involved in our community, most of which have children who are alumni of Suttons Bay High School. Over the years, our team has gained support from all around, whether by students & mentors joining the team or by local businesses making donations and providing tools/machinery.
