For the seventh consecutive year, the robotics team returned to the UIL State Robotics Competition, the 2023 BEST Division Championship, from Nov. 30 through Dec. 2. They competed against 72 teams over the course of three days at the Dallas Fair Park Coliseum and Briscoe Carpenter Livestock Center and finished as the state runner up in the 5A/6A division in both the robot and overall competition. Read the full story on the district website.

The robotics team competed at the UIL Regional Tournament earlier in November and placed 2nd in the BEST division and 3rd in the tournament overall, qualifying them for the state meet.
The robotics team has placed at state every year since 2017. Last year was their debut in the large school category where they also finished in 2nd place.

Dallas BEST Robotics is an all volunteer group of engineers, technologists, and anyone else interested in promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to middle, junior, and senior high school students through an annual robotics competition. Materials are provided to the teams at no cost thanks to their generous corporate contributions and local associates. Dallas BEST generally accepts senior high, junior high, and middle school teams from Dallas, Rockwall, Kaufman counties, and East to the state line, plus other areas as appropriate.
