Support Tech Tacos on their journey to state championships!

**UPDATE**

On February 1, 2025, Tech Tacos triumphed at the FIRST Tech Challenge Aerospace League Championship! It was an intense day, with belts breaking in 6 out of their 7 qualifying matches, but the team pushed through with incredible determination. Despite these challenges, they finished the regular season in an impressive 3rd place. Then, in the playoffs, they—along with another rookie team—won every round against experienced competitors to secure the championship!

Now, the team is heading to the State Championship in Orlando from February 28 to March 1! We would greatly appreciate any donations to help us purchase backup supplies like batteries, servos, and belts, as well as to support the team's travel expenses.

Thank you in advance for any and all support of Matty and Zach!

We are Tech Tacos – Team #26170, a FIRST® robotics team based in the Florida Panhandle.

We are a small, but mighty rookie team competing in the FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC), an annual competition where students from around the world build robots to complete game challenges.

Tech Tacos is currently designing and building a robot to compete in the 2024-2025 FIRST Tech Challenge and we need your help to build a competition-ready robot.

As a volunteer-run robotics team, we would not be able to build and compete without the generous support of our partners and sponsors.

We are currently accepting donations to purchase:

· A REV Robotics expansion hub required to add additional motors to our robot

· Parts needed to build a vertical lift system

· Parts needed to build an extendable arm

· Parts needed to build a pincher claw

· Additional motors and servos

· Additional robot expansion parts

These are all parts necessary for Tech Tacos to build a robot that is able to compete in this year’s competition.

We are so grateful for your support!
