Robot games
Hope Chapel students steered their robot to the division semifinals – the sweet 16 – at the 19th annual FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Championship in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
The winner of the frenetic, soccer-like tournament, crowned world champion, was a team made up of Redondo Union and Mira Costa high school students.
