We have limited roster spots remaining for our 2026-27 season!

The LUNATECS Robotics Team offers students the same high-energy, team-driven experience found in competitive travel sports — while preparing them for future careers in engineering, technology, manufacturing, and business.

Our community-based high school robotics team challenges students to compete at the highest levels of STEM through advanced engineering projects, regional competitions, leadership opportunities, and real-world problem solving. Students work together in a fast-paced, competitive environment where dedication, teamwork, and perseverance lead to growth both on and off the field.

eam members develop high-level skills in:

Engineering & CAD Design
Machining & Fabrication
Electrical Systems
Programming & Automation
Project Management
Public Speaking & Leadership
Branding, Marketing & Media

Students gain hands-on experience using industry tools and technologies while learning directly from mentors, educators, and professionals. Along the way, they build confidence, friendships, leadership abilities, and career-ready skills that last a lifetime.

Whether students dream of becoming engineers, skilled trades professionals, programmers, entrepreneurs, or future leaders, the LUNATECS provide an environment where they can grow, compete, and thrive.

Registration for the upcoming season is now open.

Hello Friends of the LUNATECS,

Duel on the Delaware is fast approaching and will take place at Salem Community College on Saturday, June 20, 2026!

For the past two years, we have proudly recognized a graduating senior with our Duel on the Delaware Inspire Award, honoring a student who exemplifies leadership, innovation, teamwork, and inspiration within the robotics community.

This year, we would love to take that recognition one step further by including a scholarship to help support the recipient on their path to becoming a future leader, creator, and innovator.

We are currently seeking an inaugural scholarship sponsor and would love the opportunity to recognize your company’s support of STEM education and student achievement.

If your company would be interested in partnering with us for this meaningful opportunity, let’s talk!
