Our Success

Founded in 2019, Bearcat Robotics has competed annually since then. Like many teams we did not play in 2021 after we disbanded.

In 2022, we reconvened with new leadership, new students, and an eagerness to win. 2022 was a struggle but we stayed determined.

In 2023, we competed twice locally and we obtained the Finalist Award at both, as well as obtained the Quality Award at our second event. We also competed in the PNW District Championships for the first time in our teams history.

In 2024, we participated in the elimination rounds at both of our events and brought home the Quality Award again!

In 2025, we were an award-winning team at both our events, winning the new Rising All-Star award at our first event and the Quality award for the third year in a row at out second event.

*The Quality Award is a prestigious award given to celebrate a robot’s robustness, quality, reliability, and fabrication.*

Each of Our Robots

(2022-2025)

In 2022, we had, "Third Times a Charm," a swerve bot with super slow speed and super slow efficiency. It was not our best year, but we sure did compete.

In 2023, We had, "Insight," our only robot to make it to districts, (so far) and a great robot. It was a tank bot and the start of our great Bearcat empire.

In 2024, we graced the world with, "Opportunity," a swerve bot with a dream (or an opportunity). Our short shooter who could score notes and drive like a bearcat.

In 2025, brought us "Lil Al," named after our team captain. A swerve bot, we performed a great game and it became our first double award winning bot.
