SHS Robotics Team Preparing for Regional Competition

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) — The Starkville High School (SHS) robotics team will be headed to Auburn, Ala. to compete in a regional competition. The team was crowned state champions for the third year in a row in October.

The team will depart Dec. 5 from the Millsaps Vocational Center.

Students will prepare for the tournament by practicing every afternoon.

“Since the state competition, we have actually made a few improvements to the robot itself, and a few adjustments to our marketing strategy and overall teamwork and abilities,” Justin Rickles with the SHS Robotics Team said. “It’s my senior year. It’s our third year in a row, and we are just hoping to make the best out of it and get a little better than we did last year.”

Starkville High School is no stranger to the regional competition. Last year, the team came in seventh place, and hopes to improve on that.
