Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Robotics Club came home with best design honors after competing at the Vex Robotics World Championship in Dallas May 9-11. VEX competitions make up the largest and fastest growing robotics engineering platform in the world with divisions for elementary and middle schools, middle and high schools and VEX U for colleges and universities. This year’s Vex U game involved placing rings onto various stakes — some stationary and others mounted on mobile goals that could be moved to corner zones to either double the team’s points or result in negative scoring. In addition to winning the design award, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ entry placed 13th out of 54 teams in the math division, one of two divisions in the Vex U competition.
