We are SUPER proud to announce that our Super Hornets FIRST® Robotics Competition team (FRC 8069) has officially received their very first invitation to the FIRST® Championship in Houston, TX (April 29 – May 2, 2026)!

This invitation comes after an outstanding performance at the St. Louis Regional Week 4 event (March 26-28, 2026), where we won the regional championship alongside alliance partners FRC 1706 and FRC 3931. We also took home the Imagery Award, celebrating outstanding engineering aesthetics and visual design.

Now we need your help to get there! We are facing immediate costs:

$5,750 – Championship registration fee

Transportation – for our robot and pit supplies

Travel expenses – for our student team members

About our team: The Super Hornets are a community-based team from St. Charles, Missouri, welcoming homeschooled students alongside those from public and private schools. We receive no institutional funding and rely entirely on sponsorships and donations from people like you.

Any funds raised beyond Championship expenses will go toward next year's Regional registration ($6,000) and robot parts (up to $5,000) — keeping our team competitive for years to come.

Please share our story with friends and family — every dollar and every share makes a difference. Let's get the Super Hornets to Houston!
