FRC Team 4645: Student-founded, Student-driven, Student-led.

Our Team at a Glance

The Chicago Style Botdogs, officially FRC Team 4645, is a robotics team with a diverse and talented background of 100+ students. From encouraging opportunities in STEM to helping other FRC teams, our team aims to benefit the surrounding communities near Lane Tech and Chicago through mentoring students and promoting FIRST robotics.

Two times qualified for the FIRST World Championship.
Six separate Spirit Awards at the FIRST Central Illinois Regional.
Taught essential engineering and technology skills to all team members.

2025 ReefScape Season News - 3/28/25

Central Illinois Regional

Last week, the Chicago Style Botdogs competed in the Central Illinois Regional. Our team members navigated through the treacherous straits of REEFSCAPE in an attempt to secure a position in the playoffs. While they were almost successful, largely due to an unexpected failure midway through the competition, our team members endured and learned a significant amount in improving our robot, and they hope to secure a position in the playoffs at our next competition, Midwest Regional.

Midwest Regional

This week, the Chicago Style Botdogs are set to compete in the Midwest Regional, located close to our home city of Chicago. With a repaired and optimized robot, our team is aiming for a spot in the playoffs, with it a potential chance to advance to the FRC Championship. Best of luck to our team! Go Botdogs!
