After a well-lauded season, the Robotters First Tech Challenge team will be continuing to the state championship this Friday and Saturday.
Both robotics teams (Autonomice and The Robotters) went to Elk River on Jan. 22 for their final tournament of the regular season.
“Robotics was great, freshman Rohan Kharbanda said. “I learned a ton and it was exciting to build robots and compete against other teams.”
The Robotters won the Connect Award, which is given to teams that engage in robotics with the community.
The Autonomice were finalists for the Design Award, given to teams that demonstrate a strong understanding of design, and the Collins Aerospace Innovate Award, given to teams who build the most creative and inventive robot.
Championships will be at Washington Technology Magnet School in St. Paul. Competition begins at 6 p.m. Friday.
