Sports

First Robotics Competition

As of 2012, Becker High School has been competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The FRC Team 4607 - The Coalition of Independent Students has been successful during its first two seasons, qualifying for two MSHSL berths in its first two years. Their first year saw them winning the Minnesota State Championship, their second year saw them finishing as the Minnesota State Tournaments' Runners-up.
In its first season, Team 4607 CIS won the North Star Regional to confirm a bid to the FRC World Championships in St. Louis, Missouri. CIS 4607 was also named 'Rookie All-Star' at the North Star Regional and the team's Safety Captain won All-Star at the regional.
The team competed in the Second MSHSL Robotics Tournament, where it competed against a field of 30 other teams at the Williams Arena. Team 4607 CIS won the State Tournament to give Becker its 3rd team State Championship in Becker School history.
The 2014 FRC campaign saw the CIS team compete again at the North Star Regional against 60 other teams from across 4 states. This year's robot was a vast improvement in terms of offensive prowess over the previous year's robot. The team finished 15th after the qualifying rounds and was awarded a berth into an alliance with FRC Teams 2175 and 967. The alliance posted a Quarterfinal win before being eliminated by the eventual champions.
The 2014 team defended their 2013 State Title. After the qualification rounds, FRC 4607 was ranked #2 behind 'The Fighting Calculators'- FRC 2175. During the Alliance Selection process, FRC 2175 chose FRC 2052 to the #1 Alliance. CIS would go into this Elimination without the Calculators for the first time. CIS chose FRC team 3018, the Nordic Storm from St. Peter and FRC 2530 'Inconceivable' from Rochester. Both the #1 Alliance and the #2 Alliance headed by FRC 4607 weeded through the competition. When the two alliances met in the finals, it was determined that there would be a two-time state champion - either the FRC Teams of 2175 and 2052 from the #1 Alliance would repeat, or FRC 4607 would repeat. After two matches, the #1 Alliance prevailed - CIS would be bringing home hardware - just not a match set.
