We need YOUR help to keep CircuitRunners going!! All of our teams have done a phenomenal job this season!
Our FTC teams have already qualified for worlds — FTC 11347 won 1st place Inspire at states and FTC 1002 won second place inspire and made playoffs!! The inspire awards is FTC’s highest honor and is rewarded to a team that exemplifies excellence in robot design, innovation, teamwork, outreach, and embodies the core values of FIRST.
Our FRC team 1002 has won BOTH of their district qualification competitions — something that has never been done before in CircuitRunners history. They’ve also won Multiple awards this season. One of them is the Excellence in engineering award, which honors a team that demonstrates outstanding engineering design, innovation, and a professional approach to building a high-quality robot. The second one is the Autonomous award which recognizes a team whose robot demonstrates exceptional, consistent, and innovative performance during the autonomous (pre-programmed) period of matches. FRC 1002 has qualified for state championships and is competing this week, with a very strong chance of making world championships!!
We need YOUR help to make this all possible!! Please support us by sharing and donating to our GoFundMe!!
Last Wednesday, CircuitRunners had so much fun participating in Wheeler’s STEAM symposium!! We had a great time talking about our program and demonstrating our robots to all the elementary students who visited us!! We hope everyone enjoyed our showcase!

Not your average Board of Commissioners meeting!!
Both of our FTC teams were formally recognized for their qualifications to worlds!! We wouldn't be able to do this without our parents, mentorship, school, our principal, and our school district!! Biggest thanks goes to FIRST Robotics for even giving us the opportunity to do this!!💚💚
EVERY MEMBER raise $200 for the GoFundMe! This GoFundMe helps lower travel costs to Worlds for the team and also helps to lower building materials for our FRC team!
There will be a PRIZE if the donation goal of $20K is reached by the whole club!

A little bit more about the inspire award:
The Inspire Award recognizes the team that best represents the values and mission of FIRST programs. Winning teams act as strong ambassadors and role models by demonstrating Gracious Professionalism both on and off the field. They inspire others through collaboration, enthusiasm, and sharing knowledge with teams, judges, sponsors, and their community. Inspire Award recipients also show overall excellence as a well-rounded team, including strong teamwork and successful robot design and performance.
Our teams earned this award through extensive outreach and mentoring initiatives. We conducted robot demonstrations, organized numerous events, and collaborated with other teams to inspire participation and foster interest in robotics among younger generations. Additionally, we supported the establishment and development of several robotics teams, contributing to their continued growth and success in STEM. We are so proud to have earned both first and second place inspire award!!!

If we could design the next robotics game theme, it'd be space exploration!! Teams explore uncharted planets, harvest energy cores, construct orbital habitats before time runs out.
