SHELTON, Conn. (WTNH) — A robotics team in Connecticut is on the world stage, getting a jump on a growing industry. From a classroom in Shelton, Conn. to the world stage in Houston, Texas. The Gaelhawks Shelton High School robotics team is celebrating 25 years of building, creating, and competing all for fun, outside of their regular school work. 'We work after school from like 6 to 9 p.m.,' head coach Michele Piccolo said. 'And we work Saturdays and Sundays.' The work pays off; this year, they're building a machine that landed them in a world competition, placing 22 out of 78 teams in their division after creating an impressive machine.
