Bennington Area Robotics

Bennington Area Robotics (BAM Robotics) is the youth robotics program of Bennington Area Makers in Bennington, Vermont. Middle and high school students design, build, and program robots with support from volunteer mentors in our community.

Our two teams compete in FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC):

• Team 18650: Cookie Clickers

• Team 32473: Bennington Bolts and Biscuits

Students work together on mechanical design, fabrication, programming, and competition strategy. No prior coding or robotics experience is needed.

Visit the Bennington Area Robotics website for meeting times, membership information, team news, and upcoming events. To ask about joining or volunteering, email info@bamvt.com.
