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.
