Team Jack in the Bot 2025 Global Champions
We’ve written about Team “Jack in the Bot” before. They have a very strong track record with several championships under their belts.
This time they have claimed their biggest prize yet. The Everett Public Schools is proud to announce that Team 2910 “Jack in the Bot” from Henry M. Jackson High School has won the 2025 FIRST Robotics World Championship, held in Houston, Texas.
This global competition brought together 600 of the top high school robotics teams from 30 countries—and Jack in the Bot rose to the top.
Representing our the Everett School District with excellence, Team 2910 joined forces with three outstanding teams—1323 MadTown Robotics (CA), 4272 Maverick Robotics (IN), and 5026 Iron Panthers (CA)—to win their division and advance to the championship bracket, known as Einstein.
Alongside this impressive accomplishment, Jack in the Bot also received the Innovation in Control Award, which recognizes a team’s creative use of control systems and engineering excellence. This award highlights the technical talent and problem-solving skills that define our students and programs.
The road to the championship was filled with high-stakes matches and unforgettable moments, including a pivotal maneuver by Jack in the Bot’s robot that helped secure victory in the final match of the season. The alliance prevailed after a double-elimination bracket in a dramatic best-of-three series to claim the world title.
This achievement is a reflection not only of the students’ hard work and dedication but also of the incredible support that surrounds them. Jack in the Bot’s success would not be possible without the contributions of dedicated mentors, committed school staff, generous sponsors, and the unwavering encouragement of families, friends, and the community. Together, this network of support has empowered our students to reach extraordinary heights.
“Everybody on the team went into the event excited and focused; we were going to be competing with and against the best teams in FRC,” said Coach Steve Kaneb. “Achieving our team goal of winning the world championship just took all of us.”
“We strived to make no mistakes and reviewed every match for improvement,” said Driver and Programming Lead Sudhir Chebiyyam. “That mindset helped us put up the high scores that won us the title.”
“Our seniors have worked together for four long years,” said Public Relations Officer Alexandra Balan. “I’m incredibly proud, and I know this team will keep making us proud for years to come.”
Everett Public Schools celebrates this extraordinary accomplishment as a shining example of what our students can achieve through innovation, perseverance, and teamwork.
“We are incredibly proud of the momentous success of our own Team 2910,” said Principal Sechin Tower. “Their innovation, teamwork and perseverance exemplify the very best of what our students can achieve. Congratulations to our champions!”
