Three local boys recently participated in the middle school VEX IQ Robotics competition in Dublin and emerged victorious, earning a Create Award at the state championships and a ticket to the world championships.
“So when we qualified for states, I was just really proud, and I was quite surprised that our team was able to beat most of the other teams in California because we had only come together for about a few months, and this was our first time doing VEX,” team member Philip Oberhart said of the March event.
