Three Things column: Philomath Fire and Rescue celebrates, grants help get books in the hands of local kids and a new local robotics team qualifies for state.
Philomath High School’s robotics program will enter the competitive arena at two venues Sunday with the FIRST Robotics Competition team participating in a scrimmage in Albany and the FIRST Tech Challenge squad hosting a qualifying tournament in the PHS gym.
On the floor in orange T-shirts with the team logo, bright orange and yellow safety vests and either yellow hardhats or orange traffic cones upon their heads, Philomath High School’s robotics students no doubt enjoy the competitions.
