Broken Arrow High School Robotics team ranks top 10 at FIRST Robotics Competition!

Last fall, Tactical Electronics Engineering Department started working with the Broken Arrow High School FIRST Robotics team to develop a robot that would compete in the regional competition. The Oklahoma City Regional FIRST Robotics Competition was held this week and Team Tiger Strike did very well!

This was the teams first year to compete and they finished the qualification rounds ranked #10 out of 62 teams. The competing teams were from all over Oklahoma and the surrounding states and even Mexico.  Team Tiger Strike (#6026) rank was higher than every other area school except for Union.  Broken Arrow ranked higher than Jenks, Booker T.
