This weekend Iron Reign, SEM’s Varsity FTC Robotics team, competed in the North Texas Regional Championship. They won the Motivate Award and advanced to both the Texas State UIL Robotics Championship and the Texas State FTC Robotics Championship with a further chance to advance to the Worlds Championship. In addition, Anuhya Das was named one of the Region’s four FTC Dean’s List Finalists and was invited to the World’s Championship for the next round. The FTC Dean’s list is considered something like National Merit for robotics.
