Key Events and Dates - 2024
Following is a list of key events and dates that the Robotics Club has each year. Parents are welcome to attend the competitions. If your Robotics student chooses to go to a competition, they are required to use the school provided transportation that leaves and returns to WHRHS. However, as a parent, you are welcome to drive to a competition/event and attend on your own. There is no charge and it is a great opportunity to see what it’s all about.
Season Kick-Off - January 2024
The Robotics Team learns the rules of the game planned for this year’s competition and what the design requirements of the robot will be. They get started by brainstorming ideas and starting the design of their robot.
