We have finished up our regular season with just our state championship left. This year we have 2 of the 3 teams able to compete, teams 4149C tots bots and 4149X young bots will both be competing but everyone will come with to state. Mollie’s and Anthony’s team 4149G The Spades lost in the Finals in Bemigi on February 11th. But mostly all of our teams make it to semi-finals most of the time during tournaments.

Friday February 17, 2023-We will be hosting a drone competition in the big gym at the school. We have scheduled that doors open at 9 am and competition beginning at 10am. Practice this week will be Wednesday 15 for drones. Thursday 16th will be robotics for a little while and then set up for the drone tournament. Friday 17th, I would like all students there to help run the tournament and concessions. 

March 2-3, 2023- State Championship. This is from the High School Division but the Middle School is very similar. (For the ones that didn't know, 4149C is a high school team and 4149X is a middle school team.) 

Both 4149D and 4149F will be attending the Championship in Sugarland Texas April 14-16 with competition the 15th and 16th.
