MOSCOW – Members of the 4-H Palouse Area Robotics Team, the Sciborgs, meet in limited sessions at a private shop near Pullman as they work to build a robot for this year’s F.I.R.S.T. Robotics challenge.

The full team will begin competition in April through video submissions.

The SciBorgs have gathered several times a week via Zoom since January for planning and training.

“Meeting as a group (even a small one) makes a big difference on how we interact as a team,” said Euan McCubbin, a Pullman High School junior, who is a mechanical sub-team lead. “Robotics is so hands-on —we have missed building projects in the shop.”
