BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — The Spartonics have nearly doubled in size and quadrupled the number of female teammates in their second year of existence as Bainbridge High School’s robotics team.

With about 50 teammates, including 16 girls, the Spartonics faced not only programming challenges, but working with a team that had many students who were new to robotics.
Half of last year’s team graduated, said junior Connor Dalton.
“This year it’s about building the foundation for a club that is going to be strong and perform well going into the future as well as this year,” he said.
