Team Titanium was founded in 2006 under the direction of Robert Dumler.[2] In this first year, the team participated in the St. Louis Regional where they placed 23rd out of 46 teams. In subsequent years leadership of the team has changed hands many times. Currently, the team is led by Aaron Bailey, Jeff Spatz and Nanzy Spatz.[3] In the past years the team has won numerous awards including the Chairman's Award in 2009 and regional champions in 2010.[4] These two achievements sent the team to the National Championships in Atlanta in both 2009 and 2010. In 2010, Team Titanium was a finalist in the Curie Division at the national championships and won the 2010 Championship Rockwell Automation Innovation in Control Award.[5]

The team also focuses on spreading the FIRST Robotics message. Over the past 4 years the team has greatly expanded its outreach program to include mentoring several FLL teams and helping new FRC teams. Team 1986 currently holds 4 summer camps for various age groups.[6] These camps seek to teach younger students engineering concepts and the value of engineering in the world. The camps also show students how they can have fun building things and working as a team. Teamwork is one of the great pillars of FIRST Robotics and Team 1986.
