​

Gibbs Middle School Robotics was started in 2018 by a small group of students dedicated to exploring robotics. That first-year GMS brought in three awards and participated at the state level. Since our first year, GMS has brought in over a dozen awards, seven state spots, and hosted Knox County's annual Battle on the Hill. Dedication, creativity, and teamwork are all major factors in what we do. We are looking forward to another amazing season, join us!
