About the team

A bold name, bright pink shirts, and a serious robotics program for grades 6 to 12.

How we started

Pink Unicorns began with a simple idea: compete at a higher level while standing out with a bold name and bright pink shirts.

What started as a fun way to be unique has grown into a team built on creativity, skill, and teamwork.

Each season, teams collaborate to design and compete in robotics games that challenge both their technical abilities and their problem-solving.

  • MechanicsBuilding, testing and rebuilding until it works under match pressure.
  • ProgrammingWriting the C++ that drives the robot and runs its autonomous routines.
  • CommunicationDocumenting the work and explaining it to judges and alliance partners.

Our mission

To provide innovative educational services that spark creativity, nurture curiosity, and empower young minds to learn with joy and confidence.

Our vision

Beyond competition

At Pink Unicorns, we believe the lessons go far beyond competition.

Students leave with the creativity to imagine solutions, the confidence to face challenges, and the teamwork to thrive wherever they go.

We also mentor new robotics teams and run hands-on workshops in our community. If your school or group would like help getting a team started, email us.
