[quote=Anonymous]I know too much about HS robotics, but my own kid specifically wanted a school that participated in FIRST Robotics vs. Vex and some other robotics competitions. FIRST is considered a premier competition and they design and build large robots (You compete at local tournaments...best performers compete at Regionals...best performers compete at Worlds). GDS participates in FIRST, but as others have mentioned, does not perform all that well. I believe Potomac participates in VEX and Flint Hill I believe participates in a completely different competition...Sidwell participates in the underwater robotics competition, but also not FIRST. Perhaps none of this matters to your kid...but maybe it does. FYI...TJ doesn't participate in any robotics competitions (at least they didn't) which was always odd. Typically, the magnet schools perform very well.[/quote]
