Fontana High School
competed in the FIRST Robotics Southern California Regional Competition in Los
Angeles on March 31-April 2, 2005. Students were given 42 days to build a full-size robot that had to pick up
triangular shaped objects and stack them, utilizing industry mentors, teachers,
and mathematical applications. The competitions are high-tech
spectator sporting events, the result of lots of focused brainstorming,
real-world teamwork, dedicated mentoring, project timelines, and deadlines.
This was Fohi's first time participating in this event and they placed 32nd out
of 52 teams.
