PAOLA – The Paola High School robotics team received the Chairman’s Award at last weekend’s Greater Kansas City Regional for FIRST – For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The Miami County Republic reported that 64 teams tested their robots in a basketball-themed game called Rebound Rumble, in which robots tried to launch small basketballs into a series of hoops with different point values. At the end of the matches, the robots worked together to balance on a see-saw. Because of the award, Paola qualified to compete in the international championships April 26-28 in St. Louis. The team will do fund-raisers for the trip.
