Making it work

Thanks to the above sponsors, no students pay dues to join Panther Robotics.  We also thank our school for providing space and support, and our communities for additional fundraising support.

With this we’ve afforded competition and travel at two events each of the previous 5 years.  Each event cost $5-10k after registration fees and travel cost and the costs for robot parts and tools can easily be $3-5k building a competitive robot, including parts that are used for training during the Fall.  

Please take a look at our fundraising calendar for opportunity to support us and contact us below if wanting to support us with donations of any kind.

Meet Our Team

Now in our 17th years, Panther Robotics’ members have a variety of experiences and views.  Students and mentors were interviewed to share these perspectives with Jordyn asking the questions.  These sessions were insightful and inspirational, as we look at the progression of thoughts from rookie through senior team members, both in student and mentoring roles.  The full series of 2019 interviews will be available on our YouTube channel.
