March 2026 Newsletter

At CircuitRunners Robotics, we’re all about pushing the boundaries of innovation, teamwork, and engineering excellence. From shop updates and project highlights to important events and team milestones, we’re here to keep you informed and engaged.

Once a month, we will publish an informative newsletter, keeping you updated on all the latest events and news CircuitRunners has. We will include a calendar of upcoming events, as well as a summary of the key things that we are doing as a club. We hope you enjoy it!

Upcoming Dates:

From March 5-7, our FRC 1002 team competed at the Peachtree District Dalton Event. Our team ranked 2nd in the Peachtree district, 2nd overall in Georgia, 74th in the nation, and 83rd worldwide.

FRC 1002 also won the Autonomous Award, which is given to teams with the most consistent, reliable, and high-performance robot operation during the autonomous period, highlighting excellence in sensing, positioning, and task execution without human control. Robots that achieve this typically demonstrate advanced and reliable routines that have effective sensors.

Our team made Circuitrunners history this year by winning both qualification events and bringing home two blue banners! We are currently ranked 2nd in the entire state of Georgia!

We couldn’t be more proud of our FRC 1002 team and look forward to the rest of the season and DCMP!

Competitions costs, robot building costs, and travel costs can pile up for our students. Everything we do at Circuitrunners requires money, from maintaining our shop to acquiring the best building materials.

Help our organization and your students by contributing to our GoFundMe! Our goal is $20,000, and while members are encouraged to donate $200, any amount truly makes a huge difference. As a nonprofit, every donation goes directly towards, robot building, competition registration, and travel costs, as this year, two of our teams are already confirmed to go to Worlds!

We have already reached $15,290 and need $4,710 more to reach our goal of $20,000!
