Team 26089 – Gladius

We are Team Gladius, a second-year robotics team and one of two teams representing River City Robotics, a newly formed robotics association in South Edmonton.

This season, our journey has been about more than just competing—it’s about growth, collaboration, and community impact. While we proudly participate in the FIRST Tech Challenge, our focus extends far beyond building a robot. We are committed to developing skills that will serve us for life and help strengthen the foundation of River City Robotics for future innovators.
