Robots and Rotini

What is Robots and Rotini?

Robots and Rotini is our largest fundraiser of the year! It features a wide variety of demos, activities, and, of course, a pasta dinner. It is hosted on November 9th from 5:00-7:00 pm in Eden Prairie High School South Commons and is a wonderful outing to support the team and enjoy a nice family dinner!

We provide a lot of things to do, including demos from two levels of our program: FIRST Tech Challenge (grades 7-8), and FIRST Robotics Competition (grades 9-12), activity tables with button-making and LEGO, and a silent auction featuring baskets put together through community donations. Our team puts a lot of effort into this event, and we hope that everyone who attends loves it as much as we do!

Tickets for this event are $6 for children (12 and under) and $9 for adults if you purchase ahead of time, or $9 for children and $12 for adults at the door.

Why Support?

You might be wondering why you should support our team. Even if you aren’t directly involved with us, odds are this isn’t the first time you’ve seen us! Our team does more than build robots; community outreach is a major part of Talon. In fact, we have done around 30 events just this offseason (starting in April)! You may have seen us running coding camps, demoing at city events, working with local organizations, or so much more. By supporting our team, you are helping us be able to keep up these events, which are completely free of charge to the participants! We greatly value any and all contributions. Thank you for reading, and we hope to see you there!
