TnT 280: Robotics team is making waves!

Congratulations to Taylor’s robotics team, TnT 280.

The team have done an excellent job during this year's competition season, winning the district Chairman's Award and being named as Alliance Captains at both of their district events.

The team will be traveling to St. Louis to attend the FRC Championship event at the end of April to compete against 600 other teams from countries all over the world.

What is FRC? FRC stands for FIRST robotics competition, which is the high school version of the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) program.

FRC asks students build a robot in six weeks that does a certain task. This year, the robot is required to play a game called Recycle Rush. In the game, the robot must stack totes and place a recycling bin on top of the stack, they can also put a pool noodle inside of the recycling bin for more points.

Good luck to Team TnT 280!.
