Jamie Burrows joins first VEXU robotics team in Arkansas

2017 Apr 7

Jamie Burrows was a member of the first VEX University (VEXU) robotics team in the state of Arkansas.

In VEX robotics, students design and build robots to compete in robotics competitions that change every year.

While most robotics teams are staffed by engineering students, UA Little Rock's squad, who dubbed themselves "Just a Prototype," is made up of future math and science teachers looking to inspire their future students.

In addition to being on the robotics team, the students also give back by volunteering with local high school robotics programs and serving as judges at their competitions.

After their first competition in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Just a Prototype members were invited to participate in the TEX VEXU tournament in Houston against teams from Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas in February.

Just a Prototype received the special Judges Award recognition.
