Reeds Spring Middle School will host a state robotics championship this week.
On Friday, sixth and seventh-grade students will take part in a skills competition. One robot at a time is on the field, and players try to score the most points.
On Saturday two robots are on the field at the same time, randomly paired. The highest-scoring teams advance to finals that afternoon.
The winner of the state championship advance to the world finals in Dallas, Texas. The reigning world champions, from St. Louis, will compete at the Reeds Spring tournament.
Admission is free to the event with activities starting around 4:30 Friday and 11:00 am Saturday.
