Statesman Stars

Robotics Club

 

Congratulations, Gryphon Robotics Team!! 

For the first time since thier rookie season, 11 years ago, the Gryphons have officially qualified for the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, Texas!

This season has been nothing short of historic. Through sheer perseverance and a refusal to give up on their designs, our students have achieved the highest honor in competitive robotics. This isn't just a trip; it is a hard-earned "gift" resulting from their determination and technical growth.

We are excited to cheer them on as they crush it at the World Championship!
