The CometBoTs, founded in 2018, are a dedicated and innovative robotics team representing Sonoma Country Day School in Santa Rosa, California. Our 20‑member team brings together students from sixth through ninth grade, including 7 ninth graders, 2 eighth graders, 8 seventh graders, and 3 sixth graders, all united by a shared passion for engineering, problem‑solving, and teamwork.

Since our founding, we have competed in a wide range of FIRST Tech Challenge games, each season pushing our technical skills and creativity further:

• Rover Ruckus (2018–2019) — retrieving minerals from a crater and scoring them in the lander

• Freight Frenzy (2021–2022) — transporting freight to carousels and scoring zones

• PowerPlay (2022–2023) — stacking cones on multi‑height poles to complete circuits

• CENTERSTAGE (2023–2024) — placing pixels on the backdrop and hanging on the rigging

• Into the Deep (2024–2025) — collecting samples and hanging from the submersible

• DECODE (2025–2026) — picking up and shooting artifacts into a goal

This season, 2026–2027, we are competing in BIOBUZZ, the newest FTC challenge. We look forward to discovering the full game details on September 12, 2026, and continuing our tradition of learning, innovation, and spirited competition.
