About Us

Team 1403 Cougar Robotics, is a FIRST Robotics Competition team from Montgomery High School, in Skillman, New Jersey. Our team was first started at Montgomery High School in 2004, with the help of FRC Team 75 and Team 56. We had full support of our Vice Principal Mr. Clymer and Mr. Kloberg, a mentor of Team 303. Our team kicked off its first year in great success, receiving numerous recognitions at different regional competitions and earning the opportunity to go to the World Championships. In the 2005 and 2006 seasons, we were advised by Mr. O’ Toole, a teacher at Montgomery High School. In 2007, a new technology education teacher at the high school, Mr. Leicht took on the responsibility of Team Advisor. Since the beginning we have consistently grown and starting the 5th season in 2008, Team 1403 had a record high 106 team members. For several years, we have become host an official FIRST kickoff at our high school for local New Jersey teams. In addition we are proud hosts of a FIRST off-season event: Monty Madness. Proudly sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), Convatec, and Montgomery High School and as a member of FIRST, Team 1403 Cougar Robotics strives to exemplify FIRST, its mission and its success.
