Two teams from our Middle and High School attended the Southern Tier Robotics Competition at SUNY Broome Community College on Tuesday, April 5.
Adam Niemic's High School Robotics Class entered three teams: one to compete in the Forklift Challenge and two in the Swept Away Challenge.
Mike Rullo and Jack Driscoll placed third through a 3-way-tie for scoring the most points possible for the competition. Kamden Barnes, Nazariy Kovalchuck and Hunter Bloodgood were runners up. They may not have scored a “place,” but they competed very well!
Our Middle School Builders Club also attended the competition! Students competed in the Swept Away Challenge (small) and finished fourth, fifth and ninth out of 20 teams from area middle and high schools.
Congratulations to all of the Middle School students who attended the competition: Ian Ginalski, Henry Hubbard, Davis Hill, Isaac Gabriel, Nate Seaman, Josiah Diaz and Jason Nabinger, as well as advisor Michael Ramsden.
Our students not only participated in the competition, but learned more about the field of robotics, with a demonstration by a bomb squad robot showing students what "real" robots do in life.
Congratulations to all of our students who attended this event and thank you to SUNY Broome, Broome-Tioga BOCES and STEM Hub for holding this event!
