WOODSIDE, Calif. (AP) High school robotics competitions have
started again in California.
Barely into the new school year, a tournament at Woodside High
School this weekend drew about two dozen teams from Northern
California and one all the way from Los Angeles.
The fourth annual California Robot Games gave teams a chance to
practice for larger tournaments this spring.
Teams were required to put their robots through obstacle courses
and sumo wrestling matches, but some squads found the task a little
difficult.
``Our robot died,'' said Steven Schlansker, a sophomore at Los
Altos High School. ``This is the first time we had parts broken.''
