BunnyBots
BunnyBots 2020 will take place on December 19th, 2020 at Catlin Gabel School in Portland. Rules for that game will be posted here September 1st. The rest of this page will give you a glimpse into what 2019’s game was like.
"The best way to learn how to build a robot, is to build a robot"
The annual BunnyBots competition is a hallmark of the robotics off-season for FRC teams in the Pacific Northwest. BunnyBots provides a separate, low-stakes, three month build season in the fall, with an original game each year, making FIRST a year-round activity. Students experience the full brainstorming, design, and build process that goes into creating a robot. From design and fabrication, to wiring, programming, and strategy, BunnyBots is used as a training tool for teams to equip their members with the skills necessary for the Winter competitive build season. For many students, this is their first experience making a FRC-quality robot.
