Council approves $300 to send Taylor High robotics team to state competition
Summary
The Taylor High robotics club, represented by Kim Godwin and students, showed their robot and asked for support ahead of the March state meet; council approved a $300 donation to the team.
Kim Godwin, representing the Taylor High robotics club, updated the council on the team known as "Doomba," its district placing (ranked No. 3) and its advancement to state competition on March 6‑7. Godwin described a small, student‑driven team that has expanded from three to five students and has earned multiple awards over five years. "Two years ago, this council was generous enough to sponsor this club with some funds," Godwin told council members as the team demonstrated robot functions in the chamber.
Council members praised the students and several councilors moved to provide immediate support. Councilwoman Brandy Peterson moved to donate $300 to the robotics club for state competition; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff and members noted the donation would be applied toward travel and competition expenses and that the club will continue fundraising as needed.
