Team 237 was started at Watertown High School in Watertown, Connecticut in 1999 by the woods teacher Carll Pallokat. They participate in yearly competitions for a program called F.I.R.S.T. In this program, high school students have six weeks to design, build, and program robots to complete a certain task. The teams then compete at regional competitions and then at the championship. Team 237 has done well over the years, winning regionals in 2000, 2002, and 2004. They hold many fundraisers throughout the year to help pay for their annual budget of roughly $60,000.

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1992 by Dean Kamen as a way to get high school students involved in engineering. Since 1992, FIRST has grown to over 1500 FIRST Robotics Competition teams.
