About the Team

We're the Happy Hornets from Dodd City High School and are working to maintain our atmosphere of competitiveness in VRC robotics. We had one team qualify for Region 2 Tournament during the 21-22 and 22-23 Seasons, and we had a winning Alliance at the Texas Region 8 Tournament in February of 2023. During the 23-24 Season we did not Qualify for the Regional Tournament. Another Dodd City team qualified for the UIL State Tournament during the 24-25 Season. Now we are ready to continue competition as a competitive team for the 25-26 "Push Back" season.
