BEST Robotics

BEST Robotics, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to inspire middle through high school students to pursue careers in engineering, science, and technology through participation in a sports-like, hands-on, real-world engineering-based robotics competition.

Dr. Mike Bright began Wolverine BEST at Grove City College several years ago, providing students from local schools and from the Erie and Pittsburgh regions exposure to engineering and science. The Grove City College BEST challenge is one of only two BEST Hubs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The event serves as an opportunity for Grove City College to showcase its nationally ranked engineering program.
