Livingston Robotics Club (LRC) is a robotics community for grades K-12. Based in Livingston, New Jersey, USA, the club is open to families from area towns and communities. Founded in 2007 and officially incorporated in 2010, it was created and is operated on a purely voluntary basis by parents and mentors passionate about our mission.

Through the generous support and annual donation of Eastman Companies, LRC offers member teams access to a 6000sf facility to hold team meetings and practice sessions. 

LRC supports member coaches by way of weekly support sessions and coordination of a network of local High School student mentors.

Welcome to Livingston Robotics Club

There are many competitive robotics programs where students can get hands-on learning opportunities through guided challenges. 

To learn more about the programs and how to start a team, check our event calendar and join our Open House Events on Facebook.

LRC supports two FIRST LEGO League (FLL) divisions:

• FLL Explore covering ages 6-10

• FLL Challenge covering grades 4-8

Both FLL divisions introduce STEM through hands-on learning, emphasizing real-world problem-solving and growth in thinking, coding, and design skills.

VEX Robotics Competition engages students worldwide in grades 4-12 in 4 divisions (VIQ Elementary, VIQ Middle School, VRC HS, VEX AI). Students learn robot design and programming for game-based challenges, fostering teamwork, leadership, communication, and STEM skills.

RoboCupJunior (RCJ) educates students up to age 19 in local to international robotic events. It emphasizes technology learning through three cooperative challenges: soccer, rescue, and onstage.
