Team 12066F, a dedicated group of high school students from SLO County, has worked tirelessly to excel in robotics. Their hard work paid off when they received the Finalist Award at the California Central Coast VEX Robotics Competition, earning them a spot at the 2026 California State Region 3 High School Championship. This is a remarkable achievement for a private team, and it reflects the passion and commitment of these students to STEM and innovation.

However, reaching the state championship comes with significant expenses. The team needs support from the SLO County community to cover the costs of robotic parts, competition fees, and transportation. Without these resources, it will be difficult for them to compete on an equal footing with other well-funded teams. Your support will help ensure that Team 12066F has the tools and opportunities they need to showcase their talent and represent our community with pride.

We (Dhruv, Henry, Amir & Ash) represent local high school talent and would greatly appreciate your help. Any amount will help set our goal to eventually represent our county and compete at the World Competition in St. Louis, Missouri. Your generosity will make a real difference in the lives of these students and help them pursue their dreams in robotics.
