The Carson High School "Brobots" robotics team won the Northern Nevada FIRST Tech Challenge Championship yesterday, and qualified to compete in national competition in St. Louis.

The CHS gym was host to 17 teams from California and Nevada who did battle with robots. The teams built and operated the robots, which had to perform specific tasks like moving boxes and picking up balls.

This was the first year that CHS has fielded a robotics team.

Silver State High School's RoboMagic team also competed in the event yesterday.
