OSCEOLA, Ind. -- On March 14th, GEARS (Granger Exploration and Robotics Studio) Robotics has just won the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Indiana State Championship.
They were thrilled/proud to have built an efficient robot that won them the state championship.
The team is now gearing up for the World Championship that takes place April 29th in Houston, Texas where 336 teams for all around the world gather to compete.
The team is now focusing on optimizing their robot's efficiency, particularly in shooting artifacts quickly and consistently using a turret and camera for automatic aiming.
They are excited to represent their facility at the World Championship, with the team's name, "Velocitas" meaning velocity in Latin.
