Teams

Teams of high school students and their mentors have six weeks to build a robot from a kit of parts. They have a set of rules to solve a problem, and their robots compete
against other teams in a regional competition with the winners going on to the finals.

Teams from Central Valley, East Valley and West Valley high schools and Bonners Ferry High School in North Idaho competed for the first time this year. Bonners Ferry won the Rookie Inspiration Award, the second-highest award in the rookie category. East Valley and Central Valley made it into the championship round and West Valley had a great drive system.

St. George's took the second-highest award, the Engineering Inspiration Award, at the Robotics Northwest Regional competition held March 3 in Portland. This is the third year the school has participated. The team will go on to compete in the national competition in Atlanta in April. 

The St. George's team also won the Delphi Driving Tomorrow's Technology award for developing an "elegant and advantageous machine feature.
