The Sophomore Engineering Class of 2028 has been busy competing in RoboLympics this October.
In a series of events, the teams designed robots that met specific requirements using different input and output sensors and their VEX kit of parts. The events culminated in Bot-Bot Golf, where their robots played a 5 hole course throughout Walton.
Congrats to Mason, Ryan G, Tad, and Samuel whose robot had a low score of 33!
