We are returning to the VEX Robotics World Championships! But this year we have two teams: 9421 and 9421X and that means it is more expensive.

The full budget for the trip is close to $7000 (for hotel rooms, registrations, transportation, food, etc. It adds up fast).  But both teams are strong this year and have a lot of promise. 9421 is one of the top teams in New England and 9421X is one of the top teams in Robot Skills in New England.

9421- Triple Threat – were the

Tournament Finalists at the Framingham Nothing But Net Tournament on January 9, 2016
Tournament Champions at the Nothing But Net Qualifying Tournament on January 16, 2016
Tournament Champions at the Nothing But Net Qualifying Tournament on February 13, 2016
and the Excellence Award winners and Tournament Champions at the Southern New England Nothing But Net Championship on March 4-5, 2016

9421X – FHS Robotics X – were the

Programming Skills winner at the Framingham Nothing But Net Tournament on January 9, 2016,
and the Tournament Champions at the Nothing But Net Qualifying Tournament on January 16, 2016

But despite their awards, they can’t compete at Worlds if we can’t afford to go. Here’s how you can help us get to Worlds:

Use the Amazon.com link on the right for all of your Amazon purchases. We receive 4-6% of what anyone spends and it costs you nothing. Use this all year and tell your friends and neighbors.

You can also make a tax-deductible donation to the Framingham High School Foundation for us. For checks, be sure to put “FHS Robotics” in the memo and send them to:
