Nashua Tough Techs

FIRST Robotics Competition Team 151

A student-led, mentor-supported robotics team where high school students build real engineering, programming, business, and leadership skills.

Hall of Fame Team

Team 151 is a FIRST Hall of Fame team and a 1995 Chairman’s Award winner with more than three decades of student impact.

Open to Local Students

High school students from Nashua and surrounding communities are welcome. No prior robotics experience is required.

Based at MakeIt Labs

The team meets at MakeIt Labs, 25 Crown Street in Nashua, where students learn in a hands-on makerspace environment.

Build the robot. Build the team. Build what comes next.

Founded in 1991, the Nashua Tough Techs give students hands-on experience across mechanical design, electrical systems, software, CAD, strategy, outreach, media, fundraising, and operations.

Students lead the work while mentors provide technical guidance and safety support. Every role matters, whether a student wants to machine parts, write code, design graphics, plan events, scout matches, or tell the team’s story.
