Wrightwood Robotics

Wrightwood Robotics is a small, independent, community program in Wrightwood, California. Since 2024, we have run a FIRST LEGO League Club for 15 to 20 kids in 2nd through 8th grade out of the basement of a private residence. Last year, the kids made it to Regionals. Watch them compete here! 😊

A small group of 10 high schoolers is hoping to compete in the 2026-2027 VEX V5 Robotics Competition this school year. VEX Robotics is the world's largest student robotics competition, where students design, build, program, and compete with custom robots. As a brand-new rookie team, we will need funding for registration, a robot kit, a competition field, game elements, and tournament entry fees. Our goal is to raise $3,000 (the budget below does not include tax and shipping). WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP! 

Update (6/25/26): The program has grown from 4 to 10 students. In order to ensure that we have enough material for this to be a valuable experience for all participants, we are upping our minimum supplies from one robot kit to two.

Minimum Start-Up Budget: $4,300
Dream Budget: $7,000

If you are willing to make a private donation to the team through Coach Michelle Scharfe or know of any sponsorship opportunities we can look into, please reach out or use the GoFundMe link below!
