Whitewater High Vex Robotics is headed to international competition.

The team of Owen Gutierrez, Colby Shaffer, Tyler Klinger, and Schoch Weaver went 8-2 at the VEX Robotics State Championship, reaching the quarterfinals before being eliminated. Their effort qualifies them to compete in the 2024 VEX Robotics World Championship.

This makes three-straight years the Wildcats have qualified for the world championship. They will travel to Dallas, Texas in April to compete against the best VEX robots from all over the world.

The Whitewater High Vex Robotics Teams are coached by Joel Cassell.
