The Octobots are a student-led robotics team competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition. We build engineers, problem-solvers, and leaders — one robot at a time.

After 3 months of intense robot building, coding and teamwork, we just qualified for the World Championships held in Houston, Texas! Out of thousands of teams worldwide, these kids built a competition robot from scratch in six weeks and earned their spot on merit. The problem? Getting there costs money.

We have a short window to make this happen. Whatever you can give — today — makes a difference.

100% of every dollar goes directly to getting these kids to Houston. Not overhead. Not admin. The students.Thank you to our Lead Sponsors for getting us this far! Teledyne, Arthrex, Bodenhamer Family, RTX, SB Venture Partners, Waters Wyatt Technology, Karl Storz, Toyon, City of Goleta, SB Memorial, Del Aerospace and Gene Haas Foundation.

Help us get to Championships!
