BEST Robotics

BEST robotics 2023

Deming High School robotics team Team Thundercats participated in the game portion of the competition at the New Mexico Hub competition in Las Cruces, NM on 2023. We were awarded the first place trophy at the competition, however we did not qualify to compete at the Texas UIL state championship due to a new rule change. Only the teams who qualify in the overall BEST award can compete at the state championship.

Future

It is an exciting time to be a part of BEST Robotics. But what does the future hold?

If there is any indication from the past, you can expect BEST to take further leaps in the next 30 years and yet still offer the basic educational opportunities and core principles that got it through the first 30 years.

We have watched BEST take the recent pandemic head-on and expand its activities into new areas vs. halting them. BEST is bigger than robotics and bigger than STEM. It is a philosophy of education, development and personal fulfillment; one that must always maintain these important attributes.
