A new record! Yesterday, four of our teams qualified for the VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas, TX. This will be the 12th year in a row that our teams have gotten the opportunity to compete at this level. The state championship is always full of twists and surprises, and yesterday was no exception. One of our rookie teams, Team X, made it all the way to the finals earning them a spot at the world championship in their first year on the team. Team B who already qualified for the world championship in January won the Build Award at the state championship. Both Team F and Team D qualified for the world championship through their high robot skills scores that they earned at the state championship yesterday. Team D also received the sportsmanship award. All of our teams performed exceptionally well, and it was a fun competition. Please help me congratulate our teams, and wish them luck at worlds.

We hosted one of the last competitions of the season last Saturday at TC. Our teams performed exceptionally well. Team B won the tournament and the Think Award. They had to play against Team F and Team A during the final round. It was really exciting to have 3 teams in the finals. Team D won the Design Award which qualified them for the State Championship. Wish them luck at state. Team X won the Innovate Award. Team F won the Amaze Award. Four of our teams also ranked in the top 5 for Robot Skills. 2nd-5th place (Team D, Team B, Team C, TeamF). It was a fun and exciting competition.
We had some of our older former team members come back to help us out during the competition (Melinda Ramos, Dominic Schnaath, Rose Moskowitz, Morgan Tyler, Leah Wendland, Brian Oribe, Joe Dale, Will Lovelace, and Zach Pavel. It was great hearing about the awesome things they are doing now in their careers and in college.
We now have 5 of our teams competing at the state championship in a few weeks, and there is one last competition today. Wish everyone luck.
Watch the exciting final round:
