On October 26-27th, the Pumpkin Bots (high school team) competed at Capital City Classic, an offseason competition, with their brand new swerve drive robot that they built over the summer. They won first place for the first time in the team’s history! Thank you to our generous sponsors who helped fund development of this new robot. The team learned so much over the summer from building this new robot that they will take into future years.

On November 2nd, Coastside Circuits, our middle school team, competed in their first league competition. Their robot was the highest scoring robot in their alliance in many of the matches! It was a great first learning experience for the team!

On Friday, December 6th, the Pumpkin Bots and Coastside Circuits will participate in Half Moon Bay’s annual Night of Lights! Join us at 6pm on Main Street to see our robots charm the town!
