Tonkabots Booster Club

A nonprofit organization

Hello from the 2025 Lake Superior Regional Champions!

We are the "Tonkabots," a FIRST Robotics team of 8th-12th graders at Westonka High School in Mound, MN. By supporting the Tonkabots team you are investing in the lives and future careers of dozens of local kids, helping to fuel their passion for STEAM by connecting them with professionals through training and mentorships, encouraging future workplace collaboration through "coopertition," and fostering integrity through "gracious professionalism."

Each year a new challenge is developed and released to over 3,000 teams worldwide in early January. With only 6 weeks to design, build, and program a 125 pound competition-ready robot, we rely heavily on our coaches, mentors, community and sponsors to help make it happen!

In 2025 we proved our 2024 success was no fluke, bringing home first place in our regional competition in Duluth as well as the coveted head-to-head "Double DECCer," landing us an opportunity to compete in World Championship in April. Our North Star Regional competition brought us a second place win and another autonomous award!

We look forward to the opportunity to make our donors proud once again this season! Thank you for believing in us!
