Beverly Hills High School’s MorTorq Robotics Team came in second place at the FIRST Robotics California District Aerospace Valley Event in Lancaster. It was the first finals appearance for the program in 16 years.
Competing against top teams from across the region, MorTorq was selected to join an alliance with Team 687 (California Academy of Mathematics & Science) and Team 2073 (Pleasant Grove High School).
“This result reflects the work our students have put in all season,” said Robotics Teacher/Coach John Castle. “From one competition to the next, they continue to grow, collaborate, and represent Beverly Hills High School with focus and determination.”
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges students to design, build, and compete with industrial-sized robots in a fast-paced, team-based environment that emphasizes engineering, problem-solving, and collaboration.
