TUPELO – Tupelo Middle School’s Golden Wave Robotics Club crafted a battery-powered robot, aptly named Roboto, for the Mississippi BEST Robotics competition at Mississippi State University starting Friday night – all in six weeks.

Amber Jones, eighth-grade science teacher and team sponsor of the Robotics Club, attended a robotics conference in Dallas, bringing back ideas to create the first-ever middle school robotics team in the district.
