“I competed in BEST Robotics with Texoma Home Educators for 7 years, and it changed my life. I learned to engineer, speak in public, work on a team, write a notebook, and much more. I made friends during that time that I am still close with today. BEST Robotics is a program I would recommend to anyone and everyone.”
-Nicholas Williams, T.H.E. Alumnus
“The BEST Robotics Robotics Program is a fun way to introduce students to the technical and social skills they will use in their careers in the years to come.”
-Kevin Reynolds, Robotics Coach

With only six days until the competition, we are holding robot driver tryouts tonight! The driver must be skilled in driving the robot and well-versed in the competition rules. After tonight, the selected drivers and spotters will go through rigorous practice every weeknight until competition day. It’s a big responsibility, but these drivers are up to the task!
THE is working on our social media presence this year! Check us out as we work to grow our engagement and presence on X, Facebook, and Instagram!

Given the theme of this year’s game (read about it here), our team chose the name ECOSystems (Environmental Cleanup Operations Systems). Our brand promise is “Bringing the oceans back to life“, and our logo is shown below:
