To qualify for the championship, the ChurroBots were a part of a winning alliance at the FIRST Robotics Competition, Silicon Valley Regional last weekend.
An East Palo Alto robotics team is headed to Houston, TX to take part in the world championship competition. The Hope Horizon East Palo Alto ChurroBots are a community-based team, with over a dozen students from different area high schools.Steve Jobs, who created Apple, got his start in a garage just like the one where the ChurroBots work. Now the team is hoping to take some of that same Silicon Valley spark to the robotics world championship.
"Being able to connect with people from all over the country and especially from all over the world, and having this amazing opportunity, I feel it’s going to be really beneficial not only for me but for our whole team," said Chris Almazan-Razo, ChurroBots Vice Captain. Team member Kevin Mendoza Hernandez says he’s always been interested in building things, and he started honing those skills in middle school with the FIRST Lego League."I loved playing with Legos.
