Southwest Robotics Team heads to Houston for World Championships

Southwest High School’s robotics team is headed to Houston, Texas, to compete in the FIRST Robotic World Championship April 18-20.

FIRST Robotics Competition is an international high school robotics competition. Each year, teams of high school students, coaches, and mentors work during a six-week period to build robots capable of competing in that year's game.

With only weeks to work on it, Southwest’s team designed, prototyped, built and programmed their robot, then trained drivers and human players. Said Southwest Principal Ed Bennett, “We’re so proud of our robotics team for making it to the world championships, but we’re also proud of the STEM learning, the problem solving and teamwork that went into developing our robot.”
