Parker’s Robotics team, W.A.R. (We Are Robot) Lords, traveled to the Las Vegas FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Regional Robotics Competition this past weekend and took home two honors.
The team won the Engineering Inspiration Award, celebrating their outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering within their School and community. This is the third Engineering Inspiration Award the team has won in three years.
Sahana Kumar, Class of 2019, also won The Dean’s List Award for her passion for and effectiveness at attaining FIRST ideals. Sahana is the team’s fourth recipient of the prestigious award; alumnae Camille Considine ′15, Anoushka Bose ′16, and Olia Javidi ′17 won the award previously.
In addition to these two awards, the W.A.R. Lords were also honored with a Hard Hat Safety Award and took on the 1st place ranking out of 44 teams by the end of the qualification matches.
Their success in Las Vegas comes on the heels of a successful weekend here in San Diego earlier this month, when the team walked away with its second Chairman’s Award. The W.A.R. Lords travel to Houston next month for the championships, to be held April 18 to 21.
Congratulations, W.A.R. Lords!
