EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The Scorpion Robotics and Odyssey of the Mind teams held an open house at the Center of Excellence May 13. Both clubs are looking for volunteers, mentors and coaches.

Thanks to the efforts of the coaches and volunteers, along with the children's hard work, the Scorpion Robotics program won 2 local qualifying tournaments and were finalists at the Los Angeles Regional Tournament. They continued to advance to the Western United States Super-Regional Tournament where the entrants made up the top 8% of all teams.
