                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2017

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the A.L. Brown 
High School Robotics team for their victory in the 2017 North Carolina 
Beta Club's Robotics competition state championship. This year, the 
team of Jason Chamnangam, Marco Gonzalez, Jackson Holsclaw, Jack 
Parker, Jesse Peterson, and Randon Philips captured the top prize after 
besting eight other high school teams in North Carolina.
  The North Carolina Beta Club conducts competitions like this every 
year at their state convention. However, this was the first year the 
Beta Club added a robotics event to its yearly contests. The robotics 
championship pits North Carolina high school students against each 
other to test skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math 
(STEM). After months of work and preparation, the A.L. Brown students 
took home the grand prize.
  This year's event brought a host of talent and I am extremely proud 
of all of the students who participated. I am also thankful for the 
teachers and volunteers who made the event possible. I look forward to 
many more years of a successful competition and wish all the students 
well as they continue their academic pursuits.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in congratulating the A.L. Brown 
High School Robotics team on their state championship.
