Purchasing Essential Robot Hardware Directly funds critical electronic components—including VEX brains ($385), controllers ($140), batteries ($77), and motors ($50)—ensuring every student gets hands-on experience instead of watching from the sidelines.

Equipping Advanced Competition Features Provides high-tech upgrades like precision sensors, pneumatic piston systems, and custom metal framing that turn basic $1,285 starter kits into award-winning, championship-caliber robots.

Supporting Program Expansion (4 to 11 Teams) Helps cover the "growing pains" of expanding from 4 teams to 11 teams so we never have to tell teams they can't build what they want due to cost restrictions.

Funding World-Class Competition Preparation Supplies the practice game elements, arena field tiles, and specialized shop tools required to train, test, and compete at the regional level and on the World Championship stage.

Covering High-Stakes Event Registration Fees Helps cover the costly tournament registration fees needed to enter all 11 of our teams into competitions throughout the season and earn our spot on the global stage.

Building Tomorrow’s STEM Leaders Invests beyond the metal and wires by preparing students for life after high school through hands-on engineering, coding, teamwork, and real-world problem solving.
