Road to BIOCORE: The 2027 challenge launches January 9 as part of the new FIRST CANOPY season.

Season details

01Who we are

More than
a machine.

MorTorq is where Beverly Hills High School students turn bold ideas into competition-ready robots—and become engineers, programmers, designers, leaders, and teammates along the way.

Every season, we solve a brand-new challenge from scratch. We prototype, manufacture, wire, code, document, pitch, and compete together. The robot is the result; the people we become are the real win.

See how we work

Design + build

CAD, rapid prototyping, machining, assembly, wiring, and the persistence to make every iteration better.

Code + control

Software, sensors, controls, data, and driver practice that turn a machine into a competitive robot.

Lead + connect

Strategy, media, fundraising, outreach, and partnerships that extend our impact beyond the field.

A season to remember

Back in the finals.

At the FIRST California Aerospace Valley event, MorTorq joined Teams 687 and 2073 on Alliance 2, fought through the playoff bracket, and finished as event finalists.

The run that changed the season.

The result marked MorTorq’s first appearance in an event final in sixteen years—a breakthrough built one repair, one match, and one decision at a time.
