Thatcher Middle School robotics team wins grand prize

In the small town of Thatcher, with just over 4,800 people, middle school teacher Chris Carrell described the typical student interest to ABC15.

“You very much have a strong athletics side, Thatcher is everyone's rival. That’s what we always say,” he said.

Thatcher Middle School may soon continue that rival status beyond sports, thanks to a contraption known across the robotics community as "the wiggly noodle."
