BEST Robotics Teams Garner Awards
BEST Robotics in the Coastal Bend wrapped up its first season with a strong showing at the regional competition at SMU in Dallas. The BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) competition is held annually across the nation to inspire and interest high school students in the fields of science and engineering. With guidance from adult mentors, local teams from 8 different high schools designed and built remote-controlled machines to accomplish specific given tasks. In Dallas, Flour Bluff High School took the overall title of "2004 Most Photogenic", while Port Aransas High School ranked midfield among the final results statewide, an outstanding feat for a first year team. The goal of the Coastal Bend BEST for 2005 is to double the number of robotics teams competing locally and involve more schools and volunteers from Corpus Christi. Alex McNair will involve you too if you call him at 2197.
