Our Needs
Full Metal Jackets are FIRST Robotics Team 1296, of Rockwall High School in Rockwall, Texas. It was founded in the fall of 2004 through a partnership with local companies. The team includes numerous volunteers and 45 students. Volunteers range from electrical engineers to programmers. During our rookie year 2004, we won the Rookie Inspirational Award. Since then, Team 1296 has continued to be a dominate force in robotics. Each year Team 1296 adds to the legacy of FIRST through team work, relationships and gracious professionalism.
Rockwall High School, located in a residential suburb of Dallas, Texas, offers a comprehensive curriculum for students in grades 9-12. In addition to traditional core subjects, students can choose from a wide variety of Advanced Placement offerings for college credit, as well as numerous electives in arts, music, engineering, business and more.
