Super Starbots!

Congratulations to the Super Starbots, who participated in the Oxford FLL regional competition on Saturday, January 3, 2015. The team captured two first place awards for their excellent performance. The team won 1st place for the Core Values award, and 1st place for the Robot Performance award given to the team with the highest single robot mission. They scored 365 points! They have qualified to advance to the Champion's Tournament scheduled for February 14, 2015 at Delaware State University. The team spent twice a week since September in preparing for the tournament. Many of their days off of school and winter break were invested in preparations, and their efforts lead them to their success. Please congratulate the team when you see them for their accomplishments in STEM education. The team is excited to add the trophies to the Patton FLL case! The Patton Super Starbots are: Kyle Ketterer, Soumil Zachariah, Nathan Sugimoto, Ayrton Gilbert, Brady Sherman as well as UES Starbot, Katie Ketterer. The team will be volunteering this upcoming weekend at the Patton FLL tournament, and we hope that you can spread the word this week to encourage all students to check out the Patton FLL tournament.
