What is BEST Robotics, Anyway?

If you’ve seen our posts about T.H.E. Robotics and wondered what BEST Robotics actually involves, here’s the scoop!

BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) is an eight-week robotics competition held each fall that challenges middle and high school students to think like real engineers. Teams design, build, and program a robot to complete a game challenge revealed on Kickoff Day. But the robot is just one piece of the puzzle. Teams also:

Design and build an exhibit booth

Deliver a team presentation to judges

Keep an engineering notebook documenting the process

Bring the energy with a spirit team

It’s a fast-paced, team-based experience that welcomes students of all skill levels — whether your student loves hands-on building, writing, public speaking, art, or cheering others on, there’s a place for them.

Best part? Participation is entirely free, and no prior experience is needed.

Our season runs mid-September through December, and we’re currently welcoming homeschool students ages 11–18 in and around Grayson County to join T.H.E. Robotics!
