Robots take over Williams Arena this Saturday

Robots and their student-human counterparts will take to the floor at Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis on Saturday, May 7 for the Minnesota State High School League’s 2022 Robotics State Tournament. The event begins with qualifying rounds at 8:30 a.m., and concludes with an awards ceremony at approximately 5:15 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. 

Both of the 2021 co-champions, Faribault and Eagle Ridge Academy, return with a hope of a repeat championship. East Ridge, third in 2021, also returns.

This year’s competition is RAPID REACT^SM presented by The Boeing Company. In the event, teams must use innovative engineering, creative thinking, and teamwork to reimagine the future of safe, high-speed travel, and lightning-fast deliveries to propel the next evolution of transportation forward – in this world and beyond.
