Support Waffle Warriors' Robotics Journey

About Us:
We are the Waffle Warriors, a passionate group of middle school students united by our love for robotics and STEM. In our second year competing in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), we are determined to take our team to the next level. With your support, we can continue to innovate, learn, and inspire the next generation of engineers and problem-solvers.
Our Story:
Last year, the Waffle Warriors had a fantastic rookie season, full of learning, growth, and teamwork. We may be a young team, but we’re filled with ambition and enthusiasm. We faced challenges, but with determination and creativity, we built a competitive robot and developed strong technical and communication skills. Now, in our second year, we’re aiming higher — pushing our designs further, honing our programming skills, and tackling even more complex problems.
The FIRST Tech Challenge gives us the opportunity to build robots that compete in complex, real-world-inspired games, while also promoting values like gracious professionalism, teamwork, and community outreach. However, building a high-performing robot, registering for competitions, and ensuring our team can succeed requires funding that we cannot fully cover on our own.
Why We Need Your Help:
Your donation will help us with:
Robot Parts & Upgrades: Each year, the challenges become more complex, and we need to upgrade our robot with high-quality materials, sensors, motors, and other components to stay competitive.
Competition Fees: Registering for the FIRST Tech Challenge and participating in tournaments, including travel expenses, can be costly.
