Westside Robotics was in Greenwood today competing in the First Tech Challenge regional qualifying tournament for the state robotics competition. Four teams (Red, Gold, Gray, and Black) worked to build a robot and write a program in preparation for the event. This morning they presented their design and process to a panel of judges, demonstrating their ability to work as a team. During the competition they executed an autonomous program, then drove the robot to grab tile "pixels" to build a mosaic, then fired a paper airplane or "drone" outside of the arena, and finally suspended the robot from a bar over the field - all in 2 minutes and 30 second! We are proud of these students for their technical skills, dedication, and sportsmanship. Thank you to their coaches and mentors for their leadership. In the end, the WL Black and WL Gold combo won the competition!
