Isaac Fimbrez, Chaz Almeida, Jaime Roblez and Alex Briones show off 'The Mangler,' their computerized robot that earned them a second-place finish in a 'Botball' tournament at Moffett Field on March 25. The Broadway High School students programmed 'The Mangler' to pick up ping-pong balls and throw them into a 10-inch-high basket, scoring more points than six other teams. Teacher Frank Correa promises another tournament is just around the corner.
