Pima Robotics Team Headed to State

The Techalongs had an amazing final qualification tournament, finishing in 8th place overall and being awarded the Connect Award.

As a result, in case you haven't heard, Pima's rookie robotics team made up of girls in four different troops secured a bid to the state competition! The girls are one of 45 teams to make it to the competition and most certainly are among the youngest teams there. 

The competition will be held February 24th and 25th in the field house at NAU.  If you want to make the trip to support them, plan to arrive about 9:00 am for opening ceremonies followed by qualification matches.  Two bids for Worlds are at stake and the competition will conclude around 5 pm. 

To learn more about FIRST FTC robotics in Arizona, please visit their blog. A livestream of the state competition will likely be posted to that site.

If you are girl in grades 7 to 12 and want more information about joining the team, please email techalongs@gmail.com, follow them on Instagram, or visit their website.

The Tagalongs are sponsored by their troops, Pima Neighborhood Girl Scouts, and Girls in Tech.
