We are a community based robotics team founded in 2016 based in North Brisbane. We come from different schools and meet every weekend to build, code and play with robots. We actively mentor other community and school-based teams. We are all about robotics! We enjoy hosting our weekly Robotics Immersion Program for our younger students to build skills and confidence in STEM and robotics so they can participate in fun robotics competitions! The BotBuilders have several teams across multiple robotics competitions: FIRST Lego League, FIRST Tech Challenge, FIRST Robotics Competition and RoboRAVE.

We love all things robotics!

A huge thank you to our newest sponsor, Ricky Richards, for their generous support. Their donation of high-quality fabric will be used to make our FRC bumpers look clean and competition-ready. We’re proud to partner with an Australian company backing STEM and youth robotics.

Our FRC team, #10002, is gearing up for offseason events DDU and MRT. With ReefScape just around the corner, they're putting in the hours refining their drivetrain and testing new mechanisms. Expect some powerful upgrades on the field.

We've officially relocated! BotBuilders has moved into our new home in Geebung. This larger space will support even more projects, teams, and events. Stay tuned for workshops and open days soon.
