The Cuero ISD Education Foundation recently hosted an exciting presentation by The Cuero High School Gobble Bots, a rising force in STEM education and competitive robotics. As a Spring 2025 awardee of the Engineering the Future Grant, the Gobble Bots utilized the funding to acquire a state-ofthe- art 3D printer—an essential tool that has transformed their ability to design, prototype, and refine robotic creations.
The 2025 season marked the Gobble Bots' inaugural year participating in FIRST, a globally recognized organization that fosters youth engagement in science and technology through mentor-based programs. FIRST equips students with engineering, communication, and leadership skills, helping them navigate real-world problem-solving. The Cuero Education Foundation played a pivotal role in the team’s success, providing funding that allowed them to enhance their capabilities and prepare for high-level competition.
Despite various challenges throughout the season, the Gobble Bots remained resilient and driven, culminating in a triumphant 1st place victory at their final event—where they faced off against formidable regional and state-winning teams. This achievement not only validated their hard work but also set a promising foundation for future success.
