CONIFER, Colo. (CBS4) – Less than two weeks away from a regional competition and a local robotics team is now missing a big chunk of their equipment. The team from Conifer High school believes it was stolen off of their bus on their way home from an event in Utah.
Chris Hanson, one of the team mentors was able to track down security video of a dinner stop the team made in Salt Lake City. There they believe someone stole their equipment and some personal belongings from a second Denver team, from George Washington High School.
The loss, Hanson says, will cost the team thousands of dollars.

The Conifer High School robotics team is determined to participate in its regional competition next week despite having an estimated $8,000 of equipment stolen.
With the regional competition at the University of Denver fast approaching, the team is searching for a solution that will allow it to compete.
“We’re moving forward believing that we’re going to have the bare necessities to be able to compete,” Hanson said.
In light of what happened, a number of area teams stepped up and offered to loan the Conifer team equipment.
