Army Ants

The Army Ants are a FIRST® Robotics Competition team from Columbia, Missouri. The team consists of 30 student members from 4 local high schools and the home school community. Shortly before the 2016 season, the Army Ants left the Columbia Public Schools district and established their own governing organization, the Columbia Educational Robotics Foundation (CERF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. CERF promotes robotics to kids of all ages and supports local FIRST® Lego League and FIRST® Tech Challenge teams in the Boone County area. Army Ants is also affiliated with 4-H as a special interest group.
