Tawas Robotics team completes first year – Iosco County News Herald

TAWAS CITY Tawas Area High School Robotics team completed its inaugural season of FIRST Robotics with a win at the Midland competition March 23-25.

FIRST Robotics is a program designed for high school students all over the world. Students are given specific parameters and guidelines in which to design and program a robot around. Teams then have six weeks to work with local engineers, fabricators and programmers to create a working robot.

After the robot is complete, teams go head-to-head at competitions across the state. Competitions combine the excitement of sports with the rigors of science and technology as 40 teams compete both alongside alliances, as well as against one another until the final alliance made up of three teams wins.

In both competition weekends, Tawas Robotic Team 6545 finished in the top 20. After being selected to join an alliance in the quarterfinals at the Midland competition, Tawas finished in the semifinals.
