The Westwood High School drone team received the exemplary team award and finished second place overall at the Austin Region Bell Vertical Robotics Competition.

The competition theme involved team logistics and critical thinking for a search and rescue mission. Students presented and submitted their engineering notebooks for their STEM build concepts and remotely operated drone vehicles.
