Prairieland Nanobots Moving on to State!

The Nanobots finished 10th overall out of 35 teams at the regional tournament, qualifying them to move on to the State Championship in January. They also had a 3rd place finish for Robot design which provided them with a certificate to present to their school. Most importantly though, they had lots of fun.
