ROBOTICS
Good luck to our two Junior High Robotics Teams the Bionic Broncos and the Loose Screws who are in Iowa to compete in the First Tech Challenge Super Regional Competition. This will be a very challenging competition for our teams because Michigan is the only state in the United States that allows junior high students to compete at this level of robotics. All other states in the U.S. only allow high school students to compete at this level. 13 of the 72 teams there will be from Michigan and two of those 13 teams are from Bedford Junior High. We are all very proud of our robotics teams, their coaches, and their mentors. GOOD LUCK AND SAFE TRAVELS! GO BRONCOS!
