Welcome to the official website for FRC Team 1189, the Gearheads!
The Gearheads is the official FIRST Robotics team representing the Grosse Pointe High Schools with over 40 students representing grosse pointe north and grosse pointe south.  Since our humble beginnings with First Robotics almost 17 years ago, Team 1189 has competed at numerous competitions, received many awards and introduced hundreds of students to STEM.    We are one team, working together in six sections: Design, Build, Fabrication, Controls, Media, and Safety.  Each section has its own student leader and at least one parent mentor.
