History+of+Team



The Robodog team is a team that is made up of new students every year. We host a summer camp allowing any student in grades 5-8 to try out for the team. Some team members are asked back, some are not. Just because you are part of the team one year does not guarantee a return. You must show that you deserve to be part of this team. This also allows any student a fair chance to be part of this experience. media type="custom" key="21975930" align="center"
