At the Green Country Regional in early April in Tulsa, Okla., Cactus High School’s FIRST Robotics Competition Team 498 Cobra Commanders competed against 46 teams from across the United States, Mexico, China, Japan and Belize in a series of three-on-three qualification matches.
After a dominant performance throughout the weekend, Team 498 finished ranked first overall, marking the second regional event this season in which the team secured the top seed.
The Cobra Commanders represent Cactus High School in the Peoria Unified School District and is composed of 24 students from across Peoria Unified. Each spring, students, teachers, and industry mentors work side by side to design, build and program 115-pound competitive robots to take on the season’s FIRST Robotics Competition challenge.
