FRC Team 2530
Thank you to our Families, Friends & Community Supporters!
Team 2530 and its robot “Dread Pirate Lobberts” had an inconceivable 2026 Rebuilt Season. We placed 3rd at 10,000 Lakes & 5th at Bluff Country regional competitions. For the 3rd consecutive year we qualified for World Championships in Houston, TX and the MSHSL State Tournament. Our iconic design aesthetic and engineering creativity were recognized with two awards: the Industrial Design Award and the Imagery Award. Additionally, one of our team captains was recognized with a FIRST Leadership Award.
This summer we will be hosting our annual youth summer camp for students in grades 3-8 (registrations are full) and preparing for the upcoming 2027 Biocore FRC season.

FIRST FRC® Team 2530, Inconceivable Robotics, is based in Rochester, MN and "builds students who build robots".
We encourage the pursuit of learning through science, technology, revenue, engineering, aesthetics, and mathematics (STREAM). We promote Gracious Professionalism, student leadership, and teamwork in all aspects of our students’ lives. While Team 2530's students attend three rivaling high schools and five middle schools, we exemplify cooperation among our members. FRC® is one of the few extracurricular activities that transcends school boundaries and creates a unified team. All school colors and rivalries are set aside for Inconceivable Lime Green.
With an atmosphere of creativity and innovation, Team 2530 inspires future business leaders, engineers, graphic artists, and programmers through community involvement, spreading the message of FIRST®, and fostering meaningful connections with sponsors and adult volunteer mentors. Team 2530 operates with strong communication, which is crucial to successfully coordinate and organize year-round volunteer events and technical training.

In the past, we, along with so many others, have had team-members and friends that have struggled with mental health issues. We wanted to create something to let those stuggling with mental health that they are not alone and that we care. This came in the form of a lime green ribbon which represents mental health awareness, just like a pink ribbon represents breast cancer awareness. We've created over 10,000 of these bows and we see them worn at events and at our local high schools.
