A local team of high schoolers celebrate their national Botball robotics tournament win.
In a typical year, several robotics teams from the Los Altos community compete in national and international Botball tournaments. This year, however, only one local team of high school students took on the national challenge – and it won.
The virtual tournament, which welcomed more than 30 student robotics teams from across the nation April 10, required robots to complete tasks to accumulate points. Teams had to document their robots’ movements over Zoom and were judged on the robots’ abilities to accurately and quickly complete tasks.

Following is an open letter to the Los Altos City Council.
It appears we are headed for another year of serious drought. As residents of Los Altos, we are concerned about the amount of watering still being done around town. It’s understandable that our public spaces need to be kept attractive, but we are wondering if the council could issue some guidelines now on how residents can save water by watering less and conserving in the home?
A timely reminder might prompt those still washing our cars and overwatering our lawns that all of us may need this precious resource later on this year to drink, keep us cool and fight any fires that threaten our safety.
