The Woodland Hills School District VEX Robotics teams had a successful weekend over February 20 through February 22. High school squad "Catalyze Robotics" notched their highest individual skill score during the V5RC Keystone Oaks State Qualifier competition on February 20.
The skills competition challenges teams to register as many points as possible in a set time through a combination of coding and driving.
Meanwhile, on February 21, three teams earned honors that qualified them for the upcoming state championships. The teams competed in the VIQRC Bash at the Berry Dome in Cranberry, Pennsylvania. "Hardwired" earned the Excellence Award, the most prestigious award of any competition, which earned them a spot in the Western Pennsylvania Middle School State Qualifiers at PennWest Clarion University in March.
"IQ Pandas" won both the Team Champion Runner-Up and the Design Award, the latter of which earned them qualification to the Western Pennsylvania Elementary State Qualifier at Penn West Clarion University in March. "Robotic Wolverines" also earned the most prestigious award in a competition, the Excellence Award, that qualified them for a spot at the Western Pennsylvania Elementary State Qualifiers. This is the fourth time the "Robotics Wolverines" have won a State Qualifying Award, and the second time they have won the Excellence Award!
Congratulations to each of the teams!
