The WWHS Robocats are Looking for Volunteers!

On January 25th the Robocats will host their first-ever robotics tournament at Woodrow in the new activities gym.   After the Robocats compete in 2 other UIL qualifiers in January, 32 teams from around DFW will compete all day on the 25th at Woodrow.

There are dozens of technical and non-technical roles needed to fill with volunteers, including rookies to robotics, so we can create the best FIRST Robotics Qualifier experience in North Texas for all who attend.  

Here's a link to explore the possibilities and learn about what's available, and proceed to indicate your interest(s), and with training if you're ready to jump in.
