The Aces High Robotics Team traveled to Wilby High School in Waterbury in March to face off against 36 other teams from New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Aces High competed in 12 qualification matches. During the qualification matches the team experienced a lot of ups and downs as the students began to learn the robot’s capabilities on a legitimate field. By the end of the matches, their record was 8-4-0 and were ranked 8th. They were chosen by the Number 1 ranked team #7407 Wired Boars from Choate to move into the finals.
And the win goes to Aces High Drive Team (l-r), Casey, Jack, Aidan and Katie.
With Choate and a Hartford team, 1991 The Dragons, they worked their way through the elimination matches. One match after another the team improved and ultimately came home with another blue banner.
Additionally, the Impact Award sub-team put together an amazing presentation featuring the depth and breadth of the impact on the local community. From STEM Clubs at WLHS and Suffield Public Schools, to supporting two Lego Robotics Teams, hosting multiple blood drives, a food drive, and conducting an ongoing bicycle drive, donating over 115 bicycles to Ukrainian refugees since last summer, the team is making a better world for all. For their efforts they were awarded a prestigious Judges Award.
