Robotics Club Finishes 28th at State Championship

Jim Thomas, US Chemistry, Robotics
After winning first place in the Capitol BEST hub event, the St. Andrew's Robotics team moved on to the Texas BEST Robotics State Championships in Frisco, Texas on December 9-10, competing against the top teams from all over Texas and New Mexico. Click here to view photos and videos from the event.
In the qualifying competition standings after seven rounds, St. Andrew's placed 28th out of the 72 teams competing in head-to-head robot competition.
 
Not everyone could make the trip but we had a great contingent of 14 club members that did a great job representing St. Andrew's: Ryan Ajgaonkar '17, Blake Birdwell '18, Everett Bradley '20, Addison Brown '17, Sam Coon '17, Katherine Dyson '18, Finn Eagen '19, Lorelei Ing '20, Cord Mazzetti '19, Austin Modoff '17, Matthew Otto '17, Ben Pollinger '17, Alex Swearingen '19, and Jeff Wang '18.
 
I could not be more proud of our students. The Robotics club students worked very hard over the last 3 months and more over the past 4 weeks to make further improvements to our Capitol BEST winning robot which not only performed well but looks great too.
 
Special thanks to Teresa Medley, Merrie Morris-Mazzetti, and Mike Eagen for all their support during the stay in Frisco. Go Cru!
