Your very own FHS FIRST Robotics team competed in the
Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional competition at Williams arena this past weekend
and had its most successful year yet! 63 teams from across the globe
(yes, two teams from China) competed in this years game called Recycle
Rush. The object of the game is to stack totes and recycling containers
with optional “litter” points for placing pool noodles in the recycling
containers. Here is a video of our team (#2987) competing for reference:
After 9 qualifying rounds, FHS came in ranked #12 and formed
a 3 team alliance with Roseville HS and Bloomington Jefferson HS for the
finals. Our alliance advanced to the quarterfinals where we were
eliminated placing us 5th overall for the competition (our highest finish
yet)! These students put in countless hours designing, building, programming,
scouting, and fundraising over the course of the entire school year to make
this happen. We are extremely proud of the way they not only
competed, but how they represented our school and community at the 3 day
regional competition. If you see the following students, give them a high
five for a job well done!
