Congrats to the FCHS Robotics Team!
This past weekend, the JagWires competed at Battlefield High School in the FIRST Robotics Competition; a prestigious engineering competition where students build robots to compete with other schools from across the country. The JagWires competed head to head with other schools such as Marshall, Oakton, and Madison, and won their way to the finals. After placing in the 1st place Alliance seed, they played against the most skilled robotics team in the region, placing second in the competition. They placed 20th out of 125 teams in the Chesapeake District. Go JagWires!
