Welcome to the official website for FRC Team 1189, the Gearheads!
The Gearheads is the official FIRST Robotics team representing Grosse Pointe North & Grosse Pointe South High schools with an average of 20 students per year.  Since our humble beginnings with First Robotics 22 years ago, Team 1189 has competed at numerous competitions, received many awards and introduced hundreds of students to STEAM.  We are one team, working together in seven sections: Design, Build, Fabrication, Controls, Media, Business sand Safety. Each section has it's own dedicated mentor.
