    Both Wilsonville Robotics Team Error Code Xero and West Linn Robotics Team 2B Determined have soared out of the robotics gates during the 2023 FRC season. West Linn High School students placed second overall at the Clackamas FRC District Event on March 2-4, winning the Team Sustainability Award.

    Last week, Wilsonville High School hosted teams from across Oregon, Washington, and even Alaska in their District Competition.

Hear from our students about the hundreds of hours put into building the robot, the nerves of seeing it finally in action, and the pride of being at the center of the robotics community for the weekend.
