In March, the Niceville Robotics Team won the FIRST Robotics Tallahassee Regional Competition. This win qualified them for the World Championship in Houston, Texas, near the end of April. 

The RadioActive Roaches will compete with over 450 of the best teams in FIRST from around the world. This is where they need your help. 

The expense of transporting and lodging their team during the 4-day competition will exceed $20,000. This cost has risen due to the price of fuel and inflation costs. The robotics team has a small travel budget, but it falls short of what they need.

  • They are currently almost a third of the way towards their $7,000 goal.
