A first-year robotics team from Victoria West High School is making waves in the world of robotics competitions. At the recent FIRST Robotics District Event in Houston, the team was able to take home three awards, including the Houston District Winner, the Rookie All-Star Award, and the Rookie Highest Seed Award. Despite the disadvantage of not having the parts beforehand, the team worked together in an alliance with two other teams to successfully navigate the challenge and balance their robots on a raised platform within the time limit.
