Midland LHS FTC Robotics

Well, today Robo Junkies are heading to Waco, TX, to compete in the UIL 6A State contest, and then they will compete in the FTC Texas State Cup.
These will be my last contests, since I am retiring at the end of this school year.
So we will have to see if they can go out with a bang!!!

Well the teams did okay today. Out of 22 teams, we came in 1st, 8th and 12th. So not a bad day for us.
