QUINCY (AP) — Eight home-schooled students from the Quincy area are heading to a state robotics championship this month in Rolla, Mo.

The students are all members of the Saint Bots, a newly formed robotics club sponsored by the Quincy Area Christian Home Educators (QACHE), according to The Quincy Herald-Whig (http://bit.ly/VaTkxn ).

The team built a robot and entered it in a 34-team regional qualifying tournament Jan. 20 in Florissant, Mo. By racking up enough points, the team earned a trip to the FIRST Tech Challenge state tournament Feb. 23 at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla.
