Washington County 4-H robotics team reaches world championship for the first time
The High Voltage team finished among the top five alliances in their division playoffs at one of the world's largest K-12 robotics events.
“One of the greatest things about FIRST Tech Challenge is that you actually get to be hands-on,” said team captain and software lead Roushil Satta, who knew nothing about robots before joining.
