We are the Panther-Bots, the Potomac Middle school VEX robotics competition club.  The Panther-Bots are divided into 4 teams, consisting of 4 - 5 members.  Each team is responsible for keeping an engineering notebook, building and programming their robot to play this year's game, and participating in all robotic events. 

Team meetings are being held in person.  Our team currently meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.  In the event we are asked to meet virtually, our zoom meeting link is located in our Canvas course.  Additional meetings may be scheduled when teams are preparing for tournaments.  

Robotics events and qualifying tournaments take place on Saturdays and/or Sundays.  Teams compete at local tournaments to earn a spot at the state championship.  The Virginia State Championship is a two-day event that takes place on Friday and Saturday.
New members are excepted in early Fall.  Space is limited.  Application online by clicking the link on this page.

Competitive robotics is a year round sport and lasts through parts of all of the sport seasons.  If you are in Robotics you may not be able to participate in any other sporting activities at school.  

Beginning with the 2019-20 school year, High School students can now Letter in competitive robotics as part of the Virginia High School Sports League.

The PantherBots must be committed to excellence, not only in robotics, but in their academics as well!
