What is B.E.S.T.?
Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology
B.E.S.T. is a middle and high school robotics competition whose mission is to engage and excite students about engineering, science, and technology as well as inspire them to pursue careers in these fields.
Through participation in STEM programs, students learn to analyze and solve problems utilizing the Engineering Design Process, which helps them develop technological literacy skills. Skills like these are what the industry seeks in today's technology workforce.

What do you do?
From everyday materials, such as plywood, PVC pipe, nuts, bolts, screws, and other hardware we use the Engineering Design Process and a lot of hard work to build a robot.
The various "Hubs" not only provide the items listed above but also provide each team with a BRAIN (BEST Robotics Advanced Instruction Node programmable platform), to empower teams to design and build a functioning machine that can perform certain specific tasks in three minute competition rounds. All this happens at the start of the Kick Off day to Competition Day, often called the 42 Days of B.E.S.T.
We try our best to teach members not only about robotics and the Engineering Design Process, but about hard work, inclusion, and co-operation among themselves.

What do we do?
Carroll Robotics is a dedicated team of students and faculty who's purpose is to put the engineering design cycle to work in the form of robots and competition.
However the most important part of the B.E.S.T. experience is to instill in students how workplace comrade, sharing of knowledge, and teamwork is the foundation for every company and individual success.
