                      RECOGNIZING CLARION ROBOTICS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
two robotics teams from North Clarion High School which is located in 
Clarion County.
  The Western Pennsylvania Robotics championships took place in March 
at the PennWest Clarion University. During this competition, two teams, 
the Ineffable Inventors and the Ambiguous Case, finished in first and 
second place, respectively.
  The Ineffable Inventors, who were the champions of the event, also 
earned the Amaze Award, which is given to the most consistent high-
performing and competitive robot.
  The Ambiguous Case, finishing in second place, received the 
Excellence Award, which is given to overall excellence in robotic 
performance.
  Both of these teams will be advancing to the world championships, 
which will be held at the end of April in Dallas, Texas.
  Mr. Speaker, I enjoy seeing our youth engaging in these competitions 
to develop important computer science skills that will help them in 
their future endeavors.
  I wish both teams the best of luck as they advance to the world 
championships.
