Local Robotics Teams Do Well in Diego
Three South Bay robotics teams participated in this past weekend’s FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) San Diego Regional, earning gold and silver at the event.
Beach Cities Robotics (Mira Costa and Redondo Union High Schools, the BeachBots (Hope Chapel Academy of Hermosa Beach), and the TorrBots (Torrance's North, West, South and Torrance High schools, combined) demonstrated their design and driving skills in the two-day competition.
A total 49 high-school robotics teams, representing schools in California, Alaska, Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, Idaho and Canada met at the event to demonstrate their mastery of this year’s FRC game.
Beach Cities Robotics and BeachBots faced one another on opposing alliances in three exciting final matches at the San Diego Regional, earning gold and silver medals, respectively.
Next stop for all three South Bay teams is the Los Angeles Regional on March 21 and 22 at the L.A. Sports Arena. The event is free and open to the public. More information is available at www.usfirst.org.
