Nashoba Robotics goes to World Championship 2023
Tax deductible
We are the First Robotics Team 1768 of Nashoba Regional High School, a highly motivated group of high school students and adult mentors competing in the worldwide FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Each year, we design, build and program a sophisticated machine and compete against hundreds of teams in FRC’s New England District.
Our goal is to enable dedicated students to grow into America’s future science, engineering and technology leaders. We provide an amazing real-world experience that students cannot hope to get in a classroom. For many students, the FIRST experience is life-changing. Nashoba Robotics prepares kids technically, learning Computer Aided Design (CAD), mechanism design, control programming design, sensor integration, prototyping, metal fabrication techniques and much more. We prepare them with real project management skills as well as prepare them to be good teammates and strong leaders by immersing them in a culture of hard work and dedication and to compete intensely but with gracious professionalism. Nearly every one of our students goes on to college to major in engineering or computer science. You can see the robot in action at the team's website located here:
The team has had an excellent season, winning four awards and ranking 18th out of several hundred teams in the New England District, qualifying them to attend the World Championships in Houston, TX April 19th-22nd.
The team is very excited to have made it into the World Championships but now is faced with the daunting task of raising the funds needed to cover the cost of World Championship participation. This includes a $5000 entry fee as well as transportation for the team and their equipment to and from Houston, hotel accommodations and meals. Any financial assistance from the greater community or local businesses would be greatly appreciated and is tax-deductible. Please consider supporting the team to help them to participate in this unique opportunity. You can easily donate through the GoFundMe website or mail a check directly to Nashoba Robotics, PO Box 322, Bolton, MA 01740.
Thanks in advance for supporting their fundraising efforts. Go Nashoba Robotics!
