Peachtree Ridge Robotics Team Amplify Their Roar at Peachtree District State Championships
They’ve won once, they’ve won twice, and now they’re back at it again with another accomplishment; qualifying for World Championships to be held in St. Louis, Missouri from April 27 through April 31. With this highly-anticipated event, the Robo Lions Team 1261 are ready to compete. Team 1261 was placed as the second-seed alliance captain, and made it through six rigorous playoff matches with alliance partners Team 2415 Westminster Wired Cats from Atlanta, Ga and 4516 Hyperion Robotics from Roswell, Ga. Awarded with the Innovation in Control award and being crowned the second-ranked team in all of Georgia, the Robo Lions are now on the road to making their voice heard at a worldwide competition! Because they are the only Gwinnett County team to qualify for Worlds and the first to win the prestigious Chairman’s Award at Albany, Ga, the team has proved that they aren’t all talk!
With undefeatable high goal shots and outstanding vision tracking, the team also topped the competition with an unreachable high score of 170 points, along with setting several high scores in the state of Georgia.
The team is excited to compete alongside hundreds of other teams at the World Championships held in St. Louis, Missouri! However with high costs of transportation, boarding, and registration fees, the team is scrambling to acquire the funds needed to compete. As it stands, the team is in need of $35,000 to best represent Gwinnett County by facilitating the spread of STEM and encouraging its members to follow their technological pathways. Being a registered 501(c)3 organization, all donations are tax deductible and well appreciated.
The Robo Lions hope to hear lots of supportive cheers as they head down to compete in their third World Championship competition!

While it may have been Spring Break, Peachtree Ridge Robotics Team 1261 never stopped roaring loud and proud! The Robo Lions have yet again topped the charts with a shattering win at the Kennesaw District Event, competing with a total of thirty-five other in-state teams. Having been selected by alliance captain 1746 OTTO Robotics from Cumming, Ga and working alongside alliance partner 5812 Drewbotics from Riverdale, Ga, the teams proved indestructible scoring a whopping 154 points in the final match! With cutting-edge vision tracking that allowed for precise high goal shots, aggressive driving skills that dominated the field, and precise laser sensors set for perfection, the team won the Excellence in Engineering award for the remarkable features on their robot.

On top of this astonishing win, the Robo Lions have qualified for the State Championships to be held in Stegeman Coliseum at the University of Georgia this week and are expecting to qualify for the World Championships to be held at the end of April in St Louis, MO. With the travel and entry costs for World Championships standing at $35,000, the team needs help from our community in order to raise the necessary funds! The team is a registered 501(c)3 organization so all donations are tax deductible.
