Welcome to Music City BEST Robotics

Important Update Regarding the Music City BEST Hub

Lipscomb University has made the decision to step away from participation in the BEST Robotics program.
We are incredibly grateful for the students, coaches, mentors, and partners who have been part of the BEST community at Lipscomb over the years. It has been an honor to support such innovative and dedicated teams.
For schools and teams interested in continuing their involvement in BEST Robotics, the following hubs in northern Alabama are currently welcoming new teams:

Music City BEST Robotics is more than a competition—it’s a company simulation that equips middle and high school students with real-world, marketable skills. Each season, students step into professional roles where they design and build robots, but also manage marketing campaigns, create branding and graphic design, practice CAD and coding, handle finances, and sharpen their communication through public speaking and social media outreach.

By combining engineering with business, BEST prepares students for careers in STEM and beyond while fostering creativity, leadership, and teamwork. Our mission is to empower students to discover their potential, think like innovators, and develop the confidence to lead in the industries of tomorrow.

Robotics Competition

A free program where students form “companies” to design and market robots that compete in an exciting game.

STEM & Business Skills

Students don’t just build robots—they practice engineering, coding, marketing, public speaking, and leadership.

Community Impact

We connect students, schools, mentors, and industry professionals to build the future workforce of Tennessee.
