Huge SHOUT OUT to the JLHS Engineering and Robotics teams. This past Saturday, May 4th, Teams 13714 and 19884 competed against 39 other teams from all over Texas and Mexico at the Buc Days Robotics Rodeo in Corpus Christi, Texas. The event was sponsored by Citgo, Exxon, Valero, and the Buccaneers Commission. Teams were participating to earn part of the $13,500 in cash prizes that would be awarded to their school’s Robotics organizations. Team 19884 placed 9th and Team 13714 placed 19th after their 5 qualifying matches. Both teams did well and impressed other teams in order to be chosen by the 2nd and 3rd place alliance captains for the playoffs. Both teams faced each other in the Semi-Finals round with Team 13714 advancing the final round. In the final round, Team 13714 and their alliance team lost to the 2-1 to the eventual Buc Days Robotics Rodeo Champions. Team 13714 was still awarded $500 for being runner-ups in the event. Congratulations to both teams as they concluded the 2023-2024 Robotics season. The teams would like to thank La Joya ISD UIL Academics for sponsoring this trip and their successful season!!!
