HHMS Torbotics take on the World

Torbotics competed in four intense, non-stop days of competition against 620 teams from around the World April 19 - 22.

With this year’s competition season officially drawing to a close, it is humbling to reflect on just how successful it has been. Torbotics represented their team and community well, placing 9th in the world for Impact, inspiring them to continue to uphold their mission to #putSTEMFIRST. They are committed more than ever to fan the flame of interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math throughout our region and in doing so, systemically alter the importance placed on such pursuits.

In this unprecedented year, Torbotics earned this opportunity as the winner of the FIRST Impact Award at the Central Illinois Regional and then the overall event winner and Engineering Inspiration winner at the Bayou Regional, making them a “team to watch” by other teams and commentators.

The students worked extremely hard to earn this opportunity, with only the top 10% of FIRST Robotics Competition teams having the chance to compete on the World stage each year.

The Torbotics staff and students would like to say thank you. Acknowledging they would not be able to do any of it without the continued support of the sponsors, families, and community.
