About Us:

Talon Robotics (Team 2502) is a FIRST Robotics Competition team from Eden Prairie, Minnesota. We were started in 2007 by a group of five Eden Prairie High School students who wanted to be on a robotics team. Since this time, we have inspired many students to pursue STEM and have grown to a team of over 50 committed members. In addition, the number of parents, alumni, and mentors continues to increase. As a large team, we aim to share our love of STEM with the community while making a difference in the lives of others.

What We Do:

We aim to fulfill our mission statement every day through our actions. We strive to ensure our team is an inclusive environment, providing everyone who walks into our room the support and encouragement they need to thrive. A major way we work to uphold our values is through a large amount of community outreach. These projects, ranging from mentoring FTC and FLL teams to cleaning up our local park, are a beloved and crucial part of our team.

Core Values

Integrity

Phrase — “Integrity creates a culture of trust and respect.”
Description — “Integrity means having upstanding morals and honoring those around you
being honest and virtuous. The ability to be principled and ethical serves as a way to form trust
between team members and our supporters. Our team’s value of integrity gives us credence
throughout our community as trustworthy individuals.”

Hard Work

Phrase — “Hard work transforms concepts into reality.”
Description — Hard-work is more than just completing tasks. With a good work ethic, a pers
can achieve almost anything. It is important for team members to help and inspire others to work
hard. Our team’s focus on working hard leads to our continual growth as a team as well as
individuals.

Cooperation

Phrase — “Cooperation encourages us to learn and work together.”
Description — Talon Robotics prioritizes cooperation. When we work as a team, we stay open-
minded, share knowledge, and encourage one another. One person cannot build a robot; every
team member contributes in their own unique way.

Competitiveness

Phrase — “Competitiveness drives us to seek victory”
Description — Talon Robotics seeks to maintain and improve competitiveness in everything it
does. A broad philosophy of learning and teaching helps push this goal of competitiveness
forward; learning helps us keep up with the competition this year, and teaching helps us retain
that knowledge for years to come.

Fun

Phrase — “Fun glues our team together year after year!”
Description — Talon works hard to bring fun to everything we do. We show every student the
excitement of robotics. Fun helps us stick together and persevere through thick and thin,
allowing us to reach our goals

Our Robot:

Meet Lefty:

In our 2025 season we dove into Reefscape with our robot Lefty! Named after its unique method of placing coral out through, you guessed it, the left! Lefty was the first robot built with our goal of a space grade robot, it was NASA or nothing!

For a more in-depth view of Lefty’s performance, you can check out our The Blue Alliance page below!
