The Gum Springs Gizmos had a fantastic weekend at the Western Edge International Invitational in Long Beach, California, and earned one of the competition’s most prestigious honors. Out of 90 teams, the Gizmos were selected to receive the Peer Award, which is voted on by all participating teams and recognizes outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork, and adherence to core values throughout the three-day tournament. The team demonstrated the qualities embodied by this award while also excelling in project presentation, robot competition, and on-the-spot coding and robot design alongside their alliance partners from Colorado and Canada. It was a tremendous weekend for the Gizmos, and their accomplishments made their supporters incredibly proud.
