Overview
Mission
The Organization's primary purpose is to assist and support student members in the design and construction of a robot each year which is built to the specifications of the F.I.R.S.T. Robotics Program. The students then compete with their robot in several regional tournaments with the possibility of advancing to the National Tournament. Our underlying goal aligns with the goal of F.I.R.S.T. in that our desire is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills.

Approximately 25% of the student membership is female. CRyptonite competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition, or FRC. The team competed in two Texas UIL District event at Belton and Houston (1 st Place) and qualified for the Texas State UIL Championship in Houston and the FIRST World Championship held in the George R Brown Conference center with 600 other teams from around the world. The team also competed at the Texas Robotics Invitational at Strake High School. CRyptonite students also organized and carried out a science camps for 4-7 grade students that generated ca. $4000 of revenue for the team that could be used to purchase build supplies for the season.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
