Delta Robotics Team Headed to
World Championship Competition

              The Delta High School robotics team earned a berth at the Vex Robotics World Championships after its three teams competed in the State Championship at Bakersfield College in March.

One team placed in the top three for the Excellence in Engineering Award. In addition, it placed fifth overall in skills, thus earning one of six spots available to go to the world championship competition held in Dallas, Texas, at the end of April. There will be more than 700 robots competing out of more than 20,000 teams representing 55 countries worldwide.

              “I want to represent my school and my community at the World Championships in a way that demonstrates our potential,” said head engineer Maria Navarro. 

              Delta’s two other teams were also very successful, making it to the quarter finals and semifinals of the invitational event. Each team officially has an engineer, programmer, driver, and builder, “but we all help each other to compete at the highest level within the VEX VRC program,” said engineer and driver Adan Roldan.

              Currently, the robotics program at Delta High School is seeking donations to help pay for their travel expenses. Please contact the school if you would like to contribute.
