High Voltage Couch Bananas Robotics Fall Fundraiser

Hello!  We are the High Voltage Couch Bananas , and we compete in STEM competitions through FIRST Tech Challenge, or FTC.  We are a Non-Profit 501c3 from Eagle, Idaho.

Our mission is to inspire, encourage, and instruct the next generation of thinkers and problem solvers. Guided by coaches, mentors, and other professionals, a team competes in an exciting multi-stage competition. There is no better way to learn than by doing, and this competition gives students an incredible hands-on method to apply their knowledge and skills to innovate and solve real-world problems. Students also make a significant effort to reach out to the underprivileged and underserved communities, as demonstrated by our recent free-of-cost STEM camp at a Title 1 school, Whittier Elementary School in Boise. 

Our team will compete in tournaments with a highly sophisticated autonomous and tele-operated robot on a 12 foot by 12-foot game field. Each season revolves around a single theme that influences the game field, its obstacles, and the team’s robotic strategy. 

Our team consists of students and coaches ranging in age from 12-18 years old, and attend several different schools in the Treasure Valley, and we all love learning robotics and STEM!

Thank you for visiting our fundraiser, and we hope you find something that encourages you, inspires you, or challenges you. Fundraising is vital for the success of our team! Building state-of-the-art robots is an expensive endeavor, and so is travelling regionally and nationally.

Please consider donating and/or sharing via email, text, or social media, so our students may reach their goals this year. Thank you so much for your support!
