|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The talented members of the McKinney High School | ||
| robotics team, known as the Lion Kings, distinguished themselves by | ||
| earning the Rookie All-Star Award at the FIRST Robotics Regional | ||
| Competition held at the Dallas Convention Center on March 30 and 31, | ||
| 2012; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in 1989, FIRST is a nonprofit | ||
| organization that stages robotics competitions with the goal of | ||
| engaging young people's interest in science and technology; each | ||
| team begins with a standard kit of parts and has six weeks to design | ||
| and build a robot capable of solving a problem created by the | ||
| contest organizers; students competing in FIRST are eligible to | ||
| apply for more than $14 million in scholarship funds from leading | ||
| universities and companies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This year's FIRST competition required a robot that | ||
| could throw balls into multiple goals; in accomplishing this task, | ||
| the Lion Kings earned the Rookie All-Star Award, which is given each | ||
| year to a rookie team that displays a young but strong partnership | ||
| effort; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through their participation in this exciting and | ||
| challenging program, the McKinney High School Lion Kings enhanced | ||
| their knowledge of science and technology while learning important | ||
| lessons about teamwork, and they may indeed take great pride in | ||
| their impressive showing at the FIRST competition; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the McKinney High School robotics | ||
| team on its receipt of the Rookie All-Star Award at the 2012 FIRST | ||
| Robotics Regional Competition in Dallas and extend to the team's | ||
| members sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
