Westfield's ShamRockBotics Celebrates a Great Year!
Sham-Rock-Botics competed in the Indiana State Championships this past weekend. After a day and a half of competition they were selected to the #6 alliance for the elimination rounds. The team was eliminated in the first round after pushing the eventual state championship alliance as far as possible. This was the first time in the history of the team they have made it to the elimination rounds at the state level and was a great way to cap off a terrific year for the team. Additionally, the team was awarded the Imagery Award for the first time in team history as well, along with our WHS safety captain winning the Safety Star of the Day!
