The Walton High School Robotics team has qualified for the FIRST World Championship in Houston later this month. Here’s what the club is telling the community about what they’ve done, and what’s next:
“After a long season competing across the Peachtree Robotics District, we’ve earned one of the few spots to represent Georgia against 600 of the best teams from around the world. Our 40 students have been putting in hours upon hours of work to build, program, and test our robot, and that effort has paid off.
“Beyond the competition itself, we’re proud of the footprint we have here in East Cobb. Between running our summer camps for local kids and maintaining a full-size practice field that we share with other robotics teams in the community and across the state, we try to make sure Walton Robotics isn’t just about our success on the field, but about giving back to our community.”
The FIRST World Championships take place from April 29–May 2.
