The weekend of Feb. 28-March 1, Dripping Springs High School will host a district FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition. A total of 32 teams from across Texas will compete, including many from central Texas, schools as far away as McAllen and Lubbock, and the DSHS robotics team known as “The Spring Konstant.” Points accumulated at district meets determine state qualification in robotics.
This year’s Star Wars-themed competition, called “Infinite Recharge,” features large, quick-moving, student-created robots. Each school brings one robot to the competition. After the initial qualification rounds, the top eight teams continue through the final elimination rounds.
