PitStop

PitStop is our team-run outreach program where younger FTC and FLL teams bring their robots to us for help. We open our build space so teams across North Texas get hands-on driver training, mechanical fixes, code reviews, and strategy sessions from students who just went through it themselves.

  • On-site repairs and tuning during competition season
  • Driver practice on full FTC fields
  • Software and autonomous code reviews
  • Engineering notebook and judging mentorship

Global Outreach

For two years, RoboPlayers has run LEGO drives to support underprivileged kids. In summer 2025, we held a drive in India, reaching 500+ students with robotics activities and providing hot meals for every participant.

Community

Community Engagement

We show up wherever there's a chance to get younger students excited about robotics. Demos at libraries, booths at city events, robot showcases at elementary and middle schools. We bring the robot, walk through how it works, and let kids drive it themselves. A lot of them have never seen a competition robot up close, and watching them realize they could build one too is the whole point.

Local Outreach

RoboPlayers is committed to making STEM education accessible in our own backyard. From hosting hands-on robotics demos to volunteering at qualifiers and mentoring newer FTC and FLL teams across North Texas, we bring STEM to the kids in our community, one event at a time.
