Falcon BEST 2025: Become a sponsor

About the Falcon BEST Robotics Competition

Bowling Green State University hosts the only Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology (BEST) robotics competition in Ohio, attracting nearly 1,000 attendees from high schools across the region to campus every fall. The BGSU competition is part of BEST Robotics Inc. – a national nonprofit organization that has been hosting robotics competitions for youth since 1993.

Over the course of eight weeks, student-led teams design and build a remote-controlled robot, ultimately competing against one another at Falcon BEST for a trophy and all the glory that comes with it. Teams also have the opportunity to be judged on a marketing presentation, project engineering notebook and sportsmanship. 

While Falcon BEST sets the stage for some awesome robots, the main goal of the competition is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics.
