Galt High School’s robotics team, G-TECH, competed on Feb. 11 to advance to the state championships. This event was held at the San Joaquin County Office of Education. One of the G-TECH teams (of three) maintained spot No. 2  throughout the individual skill challenges and finished second in the robot vs. robot competitions. G-TECH will not be moving on to the state championships, but team members said they had a lot of fun and did well overall in the competition.
