        <p>Team 2876 is a FIRST Robotics team from Burlington High School in Burlington, Massachusetts. We are known as the DevilBotz, a name we take from the Burlington High mascot, the Red Devil. We have been competing in FIRST since 2009.</p>
        <p>None of this would have been possible without our <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/pages/about/mentors">mentors</a>, who give us something we, as students, can never give back: time. The same goes to our <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/pages/sponsors/our-sponsors">sponsors</a>, whose generosity allows continuous productivity during our six-week build season.</p>

        <h1>What is FIRST?</h1>
        <p>FIRST stands for <strong>F</strong>or <strong>I</strong>nspiration and <strong>R</strong>ecognition of <strong>S</strong>cience and <strong>T</strong>echnology. Founded by Dean Kamen in 1989, FIRST has, over the past 30+ years, generated interest in the science and technology fields in many students through its various programs, including FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition), FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge), and FLL (FIRST LEGO League).<br /><blockquote>
