Known as Robotics Team 1717, on March 22, 2008, the 32-student Dos Pueblos High School Robotics Team won the
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition regional challenge in Los Angeles.
Typically, the regionals are held in large arenas and involve 40-70 teams. Team 1717's win is on the heels of its win two
