YSWPCS Robotics team “TigerBot” attended the Southwestern Qualifiers to the State Championship at the USC High School on Feb 24th. The TigerBot advanced to the semifinals and ranked 7th place out of 24 teams although the TigerBot team just started the FTC journey three months ago. FIRST Tech Challenge( FTC) teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team. Congratulations to the students in the team. We thank everyone else including coaches, volunteers, parents, and principal for their continuous support.
