Cheer on Shorecrest / Shorewood's Robotics team Saturday and Sunday

Get set to ROCK THE HOUSE at Shorewood's Second Annual Robotics Event this weekend, the 21st and 22nd.

Shorewood/Shorecrest's own Team Pronto will be competing for honor and glory. Last year was a hard fought event with Team Pronto coming up one win short of the championship. This year we are ready to go one step further.    

The event is call Recycle Rush. Robots are to stack large plastic totes, 40 gallon garbage cans, and litter into high piles on the floor. This battle happens fast and furiously with stacks as high as 11 feet high being stacked by robots controlled by students. Sometimes those high stacks coming crashing down to the floor causing robot dreams to fade away.  

Team Pronto's 53 members will be on hand to greet community members to the largest event this town has ever seen. This is free to the public so come out and see what great things our students can do with their brains, bodies and souls. Team Pronto's own all girl drive team will be making an appearance again. 

Come and cheer on the team - you won’t be disappointed.
