Reeds Spring will host a state robotics championship on February 24-25 at the middle school.
On Friday, February 24, sixth and seventh-grade students will take part in a skills competition. One robot at a time is on the field, and players try to score the most points.
On Saturday, February 25, two robots are on the field at the same time, randomly paired. The highest-scoring teams advance to finals that afternoon.
The winner of the state championship advance to the world finals in Dallas, Texas. The reigning world champions, from St. Louis, will compete at the Reeds Spring tournament.
Activities begin at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and should wrap up around 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. Concessions are available and raffle tickets will be sold for great prizes.
On Saturday, the event begins at 11:00 a.m. Admission is free.
Students have been building and programming these robots since August.
