Routt County 4-H Robotics team wins state AgRobotics competition
Tami Eggers/Routt County 4-H
Ryan and Ben Becker are now three-time champions of the Colorado 4-H State AgRobotics competition.
The Routt County brothers traveled to Fort Collins for the competition, which took place June 19 at the Colorado State University campus. They were supported by coaches Kim and Jack Smith.
The AgRobotics contest is a robotics competition for teams to design, build and program a Lego robot to complete tasks autonomously, scoring points in a timed match.
The Beckers determined their own challenge strategy, programming their robot for several months ahead of the competition. They scored enough points to win the senior division and take home the title of Grand Champions.
