                        Monday, February 1, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Beck Junior 
High Robotics team, Naturally Beck, for winning the Katy Qualifier 
Robotics Tournament. This achievement allowed them to advance to the 
For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) LEGO 
League Championship in Stafford, Texas.
  Naturally Beck, won the first place championship for the second year 
in a row, defeating 23 other teams from all over Houston at the Katy 
tournament. The Naturally Beck team consists of five members and two 
mentors for the 2015-2016 roster. Students competing at the FIRST LEGO 
League really put their engineering skills to the test by using LEGO 
Mindstorms NXT technologies to craft the perfect robot for research 
purposes. This year, Naturally Beck's research project consisted of an 
inventive solution to address the way the community handles its trash. 
Congratulations to all of Naturally Beck's team members and mentors for 
their victory. We are proud of the hard work they have accomplished and 
wish them luck in the future competitions.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Beck Jr. High team for advancing to the 
FIRST LEGO League Championship.
