SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (RFD NEWS) — Stock show season is not just about livestock—teamwork and competition extend into the classroom as well. For one group of students, that competition comes through robotics. At the San Antonio Stock Show, FFA students are putting their skills to the test in the robotics arena, showing how technology and collaboration are shaping the next generation of agricultural innovators.
