HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - A high school robotics team known as 'Team 34' is gearing up for an international robotics competition.

The team represents both Athens City and Limestone County School districts.

Team 34 competes against other high schoolers in building robots to perform a specific set of tasks.

This year, the team will have to build a robot to successfully complete assignments underwater for an international competition on Dauphin Island.

Team 34 is hoping to gain support from North Alabama STEM industry businesses.

"We're looking for an industry sponsor actually to help us in us being able to promote that business and the business being able to offer us mentors and hopefully withstanding funding," said Monica McConnell, Team Advisor

This is the team's 20th year of competing.
