Robotics State Championship

The last half of the kids' robotics season has been exciting.  Olivia's robotics team (team A) ended up making it to the final round in every competition that they attended.  In the last competition of the year, they finished in second place, and this qualified them for the state tournament.  Owen's team (team C) continues to improve, and they ended up getting a wild card spot at the state tournament.  This is really good considering that all but one member of his team are new to the robotics program this year.












The state tournament was this past weekend, and Olivia's robot finished third in the state.  The top two finishers get a bid to go to the world finals, so they only missed it by a hair.  The kids' school also had another robot (robot B) finish in 6th.  We were all so happy with how well our students and robots performed. Also exciting was that the middle school robotics teams were also competing, and both of those finished in the top as well- and one of them qualified for Worlds.  This is the program that Olivia will (hopefully) be a part of next year, so it's great to see how well they are doing.
