We Build Robots. We Build Community.
Cafe Bot is a high school robotics team that competes at the highest levels of FTC while giving back to the St. Louis community through outreach, volunteering, and STEM education.
More Than a Robotics Team
Cafe Bot #4982 is a community-based FTC robotics team supported by the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Sunset Hills, Missouri. We compete hard, build award-winning robots, and show up for our community every chance we get.
Our mascot Cappy — a friendly robot waiter serving coffee and cookies — represents everything we stand for: warmth, energy, and a little bit of caffeinated chaos. Whether we're on the competition floor or at a local STEM fair, Cappy's spirit is always with us.
Award-Winning Robots
Every season, our team designs, builds, and programs a new robot from the ground up. We've earned recognition for both engineering excellence and gracious professionalism on the competition floor.
Beyond the Competition Floor
We believe STEM education belongs to everyone. From teaching kids to code to cleaning up local parks, Cafe Bot shows up.
