Canutillo High robotics teams headed to world competition
The district said the two teams representing Canutillo High at the Texas Region 1 High School V5 Robotics State Championship earned a spot in the upcoming VEX World Competition, which will take place on May 6-8 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.
'Canutillo High School has long been a leader in the STEM competition, and this year has proven to be just as prolific as any other,' CHS robotics teacher Hector Acosta said. 'Our region gets only six invitations to Worlds, and Canutillo received two of those six.'
The teams going to the world competition are as follows, according to the district:
Team A – John Martinez, Evan Romero, Victoria De La Herran and Raquel Ramirez
Team B – Jalen Delgado, Emilio Mendoza, Lauren Orrantia and Oliva Concha
The district said the two teams used their skills to build robots that competed against otherschools in a course challenge.
Acosta said the competition tests students' engineering knowledge, but participants also are asked to use problem solving skills and teamwork.
The district said Canutillo's robotics teams have achieved several awards during the seven tournaments that make up the competition season this year. Some of those trophies include:
3 tournament championships
1 excellence award
2 skills awards
2 judges' awards
The season ended this past weekend during the regional state championship at Hanks High School, the district said.
'We are thrilled to be able to showcase the amazing work that has been happening in Canutillo at an international stage,' robotics teacher Jaime Campo said. 'The tournament in Dallas will attract teams from 50 different countries and this will give our students an opportunity to not only hold their own against the best of the best, but also learn from other students who also are doing outstanding work.'

Krafton Extends ‘Subnautica 2' Bonus Period, Is Sued by Founders
South Korean video game publisher Krafton Inc. plans to extend the schedule for a potential bonus payout at its subsidiary Unknown Worlds after delaying the highly anticipated survival game Subnautica 2 until next year. About 40 employees at Unknown Worlds were eligible to share a $25 million bonus, contingent upon the studio hitting certain revenue targets by the end of 2025, with a possible short-term extension. When Krafton said earlier this month that it planned to push back the game's release, employees feared that it wouldn't be possible to hit those targets and that their potential earnings would disappear.

xTool Unveils F2 Ultra: The World's First AI-Powered MOPA Dual Laser for Creative and Commercial Empowerment
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- xTool, a prominent leader in the laser cutter and engraver industry, has launched the F2 Ultra, the world's first 60w MOPA and 40w diode dual-laser engraver. Engineered to transform creative production for small businesses and independent makers, F2 Ultra integrates AI-driven features that streamline design workflows and boost efficiency while delivering unmatched material compatibility, safety, and speed. Central to F2 Ultra is the MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) laser technology, offering greater flexibility, precision, and material compatibility than traditional fiber lasers. With adjustable pulse width and frequency, the MOPA laser enables deep engraving and 3D embossing on various materials, along with intricate color engraving on metal that reveals over 100 vibrant tones. Paired with the diode laser, this dual-laser setup truly embodies the "one machine does it all" concept, enabling users to cut and engrave on nearly all materials, thereby enhancing creative possibilities and product offerings. F2 Ultra is also the first AI-enhanced MOPA laser system, streamlining laser workflows for users of all skill levels. With a single click, the AI automatically identifies materials and applies optimal settings. The integrated AI Design feature converts basic sketches into ready-to-engrave files with 3D previews. Its dual 48MP cameras, dubbed "AI Eyes," deliver real-time precision with 0.2mm accuracy, simplifying alignment and saving materials. With speeds of up to 15,000mm/s, F2 Ultra significantly reduces production time. A working area 115% larger than that of typical MOPA lasers supports larger objects and facilitates batch processing. Features like Smart Fill and Auto Streamline Conveyor enhance efficiency, making it ideal for businesses scaling production without sacrificing quality or precision. Designed with safety in mind, F2 Ultra features a fully enclosed body with enhanced casing and protective layers to prevent laser leakage. The sealed design contains fumes and reduces disruptions, making the system ideal for settings such as studios, fairs, and public retail environments. As industries shift toward integrated solutions that emphasize user experience and operational excellence, the xTool F2 Ultra stands out at the intersection of innovation and practicality, embodying the brand's mission to "turn creativity into reality." It offers limitless applications, from personalized gifts at craft fairs to professional-grade customizations in maker spaces, all while prioritizing safety at every step of the creative process.

Blue Origin completes 12th human flight to space
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Space technology company Blue Origin successfully completed its 12th human spaceflight and the 32nd flight for the New Shepard program on Saturday morning, May 31. The launch took place from the company's facility outside of Van Horn and took a human crew to the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. The crew included: K-12 STEM teacher Aymette Medina Jorge; radiologist turned explorer Dr. Gretchen Green; former Panamanian ambassador to the United States Jaime Alemán; businessman Jesse Williams; aerospace executive Mark Rocket; and entrepreneur Paul Jeris. Including Saturday's crew, New Shepard has now flown 64 people into space — including four who have flown twice — among them scientific researchers, educators, physicians, explorers, and entrepreneurs. 'We thank our customers for trusting us to give them the opportunity to appreciate Earth's fragility from above, an experience that truly transforms those who embark on it,' said Phil Joyce, senior vice president of New Shepard. 'We look forward to seeing what our remarkable crew will do with this experience. I am proud of our team's dedication in making these moments possible.' Here is what Blue Origin said about the New Shepard program: 'Named after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, New Shepard is Blue Origin's fully reusable, autonomous suborbital rocket system built to fly humans and scientific payloads to space. The rocket is powered by one BE-3PM engine, which is fueled by a highly efficient and clean combination of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. During flight, the only byproduct of New Shepard's engine combustion is water vapor, with no carbon emissions.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
