Cape Central High School Tiger Bytes Robotics Club won its first award on Saturday, March 6, 2021. The team finished their second year of competition on a high note by winning the Judges Award at the 2020-2021 Southeast League Championship. In addition to being a rookie team, they had to overcome many unique challenges this year. While building a robot seems fairly straightforward, building a robot during a global pandemic taught the team how to work individually, remotely, in-person and as a team to reach a common goal. Instead of robotics meets in person, this year they were all virtual. The Tiger Bytes are a member of FIRST Tech Challenge which hosted the event.
