Mighty Bees Centner Robotics

Build it, code it, take it to a tournament.

The Mighty Bees build VEX IQ robots and compete in the REC Foundation's Engage league against schools across South Florida. Students design the robot, write the code that drives it, and run it in competition.

This year the team moved up from LEGO to VEX IQ. Leftover grant money covered getting us started. Everything past that is what we raise and what we earn, and the biggest thing on the list is a second robot so every student has a real job instead of a turn.

$0 raised of $1,680 $1,680 to go

Tournament entry fees are separate. Those are collected per event from the families whose students are competing, and we'll ask as each one comes up.

Higher tier, harder to reach.

Where every dollar goes

The tower above mirrors this season's game, where scoring higher is worth more. This list is the order we'll actually spend the money, starting with the robot. Tournament entry fees aren't in here, because those are collected per event from the families whose students are competing.

What we make Opening soon

Everything here is designed and produced by students on our 3D printers and laser cutter, made to order. We're still getting the printers dialled in, so the shop isn't open yet. Here's what's coming.

Want to be told when it opens? Email us and we'll let you know. We also take custom jobs, so if you need something that isn't on this list, tell us and we'll quote it. Designing to a real brief is the most useful thing these students do all year.
