UTM STUDENTS MAKE ONE-TWO IN THE NATIONAL ROBOTICS TOURNAMENT.
Once again, students from the UT Matamoros put the name of Tamaulipas on high, as they placed as Champion of Champions in the National Robotics Tournament Vex Robotics Competition «In the Zone» organized by the company REEDUCA, which took place on March 12 and 13 in Leon, Guanajuato.
UT Matamoros Rector, Dr. Ivett Bermea Vázquez, said that these young students competed with 40 teams from different universities in the country, «our young people stood out in each of the categories, they won in each one of them,» she said.
Hence the pronouncement of Champion of Champions and that they have earned their direct pass to the Robotics World Cup to be held in April in the city of Louisville, Kentucky.
This group of students who once again put the name of UT Matamoros and all of Tamaulipas on high are: Erick Guajardo, David Cantú, David Padrón and Armando Tinoco, who will make their trip for the second consecutive time to Louisville, Kentuky, as it must be remembered that in 2017 they also achieved this feat.
