Washington Middle School's VEX Robotics team, the Eldo shARks, participated in the the Reddie for Robotics Tournament at Henderson State University on Saturday. Out of the 17 teams competing, the Eldo shARKS were ranked first for robot skills and brought home the Robot Skills Champion Award Trophy! Robot skills consists of a combined score for remote controlled operation of the team's robot and autonomous control (coding the robot to score goals on its own).
