The Hope BotCats are making moves on the state and regional stage 🤖🔥
After setting ambitious goals for the 2025–2026 season, our robotics team delivered in a big way—competing across Arkansas and beyond while earning multiple awards and top finishes.
In the BEST Robotics Competition in Pine Bluff, the BotCats brought home:
• 1st Place – Marketing
• 2nd Place – Engineering Notebook
• 2nd Place – Robot Performance
• 3rd Place – Exhibit & Interview
• 2nd Place Overall in the State
That performance advanced them to the BEST Southeast Regional Competition in Huntsville, Alabama, where they proudly represented Hope on a larger stage.
The momentum continued this spring at the FIRST Robotics Competition in Searcy, where the BotCats competed against top teams across the region. After qualifying rounds, their alliance fought through the bracket and finished 1st overall in the finals.
From problem-solving to teamwork, these students are gaining real-world skills that go far beyond the classroom.
This is innovation. This is collaboration. This is Bobcat Pride.
