Warren Area High School robotics team 52575C, also known as “I Can’t Pronounce That,” has kicked off the 2025-2026 season by showing northwestern Pennsylvania why they have qualified for the VEX Robotics World Championships the last two years in a row.

At the recent “Clash at the Castle” tournament in Franklin, team 52575C brought home the medal for the Design Award, Robot Skills Champion and Tournament Champion. The latter two medals qualify the team for a trip to the state tournament in March, a step toward the World Championships yet again. Shortly after the victories, the team also received notice of an invitation to a national tournament in Iowa, also in March.
