This weekend, 13 Mountain Home students will represent our district on an international stage as Bomb Squad, FRC Team 16 competes at the FIRST Robotics Competition Bayou Regional in Kenner, Louisiana — just outside New Orleans.
Our students will go head-to-head with 55 other teams from across the United States and Mexico, competing in a high-energy, alliance-based robotics tournament. They've spent months designing, building, and programming their competition robot, and now it's time to put it on the field.
Bomb Squad is one of only two Arkansas teams at this regional — alongside our partner team, Breakaway (Team 3937) from Mountain Home. Two teams, one town, representing the Natural State in Louisiana.
