Congrats to Callie Houck, Brennan Chrisman, Joe Boggs, Max Klopfenstein and Jake Kellogg!
This team qualified off the skills list from State. Skills runs reward the team with the best individually performing robots. They have 1 minute to drive the robot and score as many points as possible and do a programming skills run, where the robot is programmed to score as many points as it can on its own. This team has been working heavily on skills runs and it paid off for them!
