Cape CTC Robotics Team to compete at state

The Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center Robotics Team earned the Rockwell Collins Innovate Award at the recent First Tech Challenge at the A.C. Brase Arena. The team-- all Cape Central High School Students-- created a new and improved design of their award-winning Tiger Tron robot, which competed previously at the state competition in St. Louis. The new design improved the robot's mobility and efficiency.
