Eight members of the Tehachapi High School FIRST Robotics Team will be headed to the 2019 FIRST Robotics Championship in Houston held April 17-20. The robot's performance is only a part of the team's presentation. The three members of Team 585 who will be doing an oral presentation in Houston practiced on Tehachapi Rotary at their April 11 meeting. The speech encompassed the team's outreach activities with the other TUSD schools. Andres Pena, Chloe Shadduck and Sophie Therault won The Chairman's Award at the Fresno competition and that guaranteed Team 585 a spot at Houston. Good luck Team 585!
