• Techno Panthers VEX Robotics Team Tryouts!

    Are you passionate about robotics and eager to take on this year’s VEX Robotics game — “High Stakes”? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working with motivated, engaged individuals? If so, we want YOU to join our Techno Panthers!

    Tryout Details:

    • Date: August 5th – 7th
    • Time: 4:00 – 5:30 pm
    • Location: Robotics Room - B24

    We have 20 spots for students to form 4-person teams that will design and build complex robots to compete in tournaments. Tryouts will be hosted for three days. This team succeeds when its members are motivated, engaged and collaborative. Those able and willing to research as much as they can about VEX robotics and this year’s “High Stakes” game will be successful during tryouts.

    Please consider:

    This is a year-long commitment with practices every Monday and Wednesday after school from 4-5pm, and three tournaments which are all-day Saturday events (TBD - I will announce these as soon as dates are confirmed). This is a large commitment of time and mental energy. To ensure success as a team, and a positive experience, attendance is required all year long.

    • Motivated Individuals: Those who are driven to learn, innovate, and excel in robotics.
    • Collaborative Team Players: Individuals who work well in a team, communicate effectively, and support their teammates.
