      CELEBRATING SUCCESS OF WARREN AREA HIGH SCHOOL ROBOTICS TEAM

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the success of the Warren Area High School robotics team, who have 
earned numerous awards this season.
  Earlier this month, the team competed in the Pennsylvania State 
qualifier and were undefeated. The team earned three top awards: 
Tournament Champions, Skills Champions, and the Excellence Award.
  This season, the team won three awards at their first three 
competitions, a historic achievement for the group.
  The students have qualified for the State tournament in March and 
have been invited to an additional national tournament, which will be 
held in Iowa.
  The team is working towards qualifying for the VEX Robotics World 
Championship, which is hosted in St. Louis this year. The team has 
qualified for the world championships for two consecutive years. At the 
world championship, participants are given the same materials to build 
a robot and must answer questions from a panel of judges.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the team on this historic achievement, 
and I wish them the best as they prepare for more tournaments this 
year.
