1993 

Sponsored by E-Systems and Dallas Christian School, the robotics team participated in the 1993 FIRST Robotics Competition. The final rounds of the 1993 game, "Rug Rage" consisted of 2-minute games in which two robots battled to place balls in their respective goals. Points were awarded according to the number and size of the balls collected by each robot. The machines accomplished the feat in a number of ways, including scoops, jaw-like devices, and pushing. The team's robot, "Dallas Rug Runner," sucked the balls up on rollers. "Dallas Rug Runner" won the national championship over the University of New Hampshire/MITRE Corp./Winnacunnet High School team. The team was honored in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden on May 27, 1993 by President Bill Clinton.
