LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Two middle schools within Pulaski County Special School District recently competed in the VEX robotics tournament on Saturday, February 15 at Bryant Jr. High School.
Mills Middle robotics club and Robinson Middle robotics club competed against 29 other middle school teams. This was the third-from-final in a series of competitions during this academic year.
Mills Middle fought hard in the competitions. The students had to repair the robot and re engineer various parts throughout the day due to the fierce battles. It was an awesome day and we finished ranked #12 out of 30 teams. I'm extremely proud of our robotics students
