About us

Digital Fusion is an Ohio FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics team. Formed in 2004, it is a collaborative effort between stellar professional mentors, Ohio State University Engineering students, and Central Ohio home, private, and public-schooled students.

Under the umbrella of Educational Robotics of Central Ohio, we garner interest and support for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) for our members and the community at large.

Team 1317

FUSION: The union of atomic nuclei (students) to form heavier nuclei (the TEAM) resulting in the release of ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF ENERGY. This is seventh-year FIRST Team 1317, Digital Fusion.

FIRST is an organization that encourages and teaches students to creatively utilize their skills in math and science through robotics.

Digital Fusion is very excited to attend the Pittsburgh Regional for the first time this year.
