2023 - 2024 School Year
The Colony High School launched it’s first robotics team this year with successes beyond expectations. The robotics team debuted in the North Texas Metro X-league on November 18, 2023, with a bold start. In their first competition, the team ended the meet with an overall 5th place out of 32 teams. The winning trend continued throughout the season but that did not go without plenty of equipment and mechanical setbacks.
