Slab Crabs conquer
BattleBots take third straight win at state

It seems the students on the Slab Crabs team at Williams High School (WHS) are just as unbeatable as the remote-controlled robots they create. The Crabs took their third consecutive win at the recent state BattleBot IQ championship tournament in Phoenix Feb. 15, where they won first and third place, as well as an engineering award for one of their robotic creations, the Boil This! Bot. WHS student Dylan Tobin designed a number of the robot's particulars via computer automated drafting (CAD) and said winning the engineering award felt good.
