The last regular season robotics meet was today. At the beginning of each season a specific number of spots are allocated for state competition. Many of those spots go to students who have outright won meets. Many other spots go to students who, at the end of the season, have some of the highest skills scores. Skills scores include coding, programming and driving scores. With that explanation, I am proud to say that the Danville Tomato Devils have made state! Congratulations to James Hochstetler, James Malone, Malcolm Yoder, and Ava Hall! State competition is on Friday, March 1. The Tater Devils and Tomato Devils will leave from the school at 6:50 AM. I will send home parent permission forms with more details. In the meantime, this handy link from Ohio VEX has a lot of information regarding the event. https://www.smore.com/n/f4jc7y-2024-ohio-vex-iq-state-championship?ref=email&fbclid=IwAR1RIqKdXhnPbJiPN_cjt8ICa9ZpAPcPSqi8iR7nbRzMkLJ4kiZiBMiDvP0 All teams did a fantastic job this season. There was a lot of experience gained. I see a great future for the Danville Robotics program. Students who did not make state are done with practices. I will reach out when we have robot take down day. I will also reach out once we have a date set for the robotics awards night.

Due to snow and icy road conditions the Robotics Meet is cancelled today. 2/24/24
