The Lufkin High School PantherBots team will compete in its first robotics tournament this weekend.

Twenty-five of the team’s 48 members are headed to Greenville to show off their skills against other schools.

The PantherBots’ robot is “tall, capable of lifting itself even taller, and able to lift another robot beneath it,” said team member Koby Kruse, an LHS senior. The team built the robot in just seven to eight weeks.
