From April 25 to 28, the TechHOUNDS robotics team will travel to St. Louis to compete in the annual FIRST Championship Event.

According to club sponsor George Giltner, this championship is the final event during the TechHOUNDS’ regular season.

Giltner said the main difference between this competition and previous Regional competitions is the amount of time the team is allowed to practice at the competition itself. According to Giltner, matches will begin at noon on the first day of the championship, so the team will only have a few hours to prepare its robot for competition.
