A pair of Seymour robotics teams claimed awards at a VEX Robotics tournament March 1 at New Palestine High School.
Seymour High School Team 31330A, consisting of Nicole Ray, Hannah Baker, Dafne Dominguez and Taylor LeBlanc, brought home the Sportsmanship Award.
“This girl-powered team brought the energy to some of the top teams in Indiana,” according to the Seymour High School Robotics Facebook page. “They even strategically grabbed Boogie Woogie’s stake from positive points to the negative zone. These girls kept their cool while the opponent debated their moves with the ref. Ultimately, the-girl powered game play ruffled some feathers, and the crowd went wild with the girls.”
Seymour Middle School Team 30013A, consisting of Caydyn Parks and Cruz Gaspar-Pascual, received the Inspire Award.
“This team got a program running for autonomous points and got their top score skills points,” according to the SHS Robotics Facebook page. “They are now middle school skills ranked 18/47 teams in Indiana. We are so proud of how well this first-year VRC middle school team has done.”
