About Wildcat Robotics
We are a FIRST team comprising of 7th and 8th graders and are mentored by high-school students in our community. We represent Wydown Middle School in Clayton, Missouri, and we are always striving to improve our team and our robot. This will be our second season as we were a rookie team last year. Last season we attended the state qualifier. Our goal for the 2019 - 2020 season is to win a notebook or community outreach award, make it to the state competition, and be chosen during alliance selection.
