Competition was fierce with less than 5 seconds separating the top 3 teams!
Altha School also dominated in the Log Book portion of the competition - taking all 3 places. Log Books are submitted ahead of the actual competition and include documentation including pictures of the team's progress in meeting their objectives and the challenges they faced on a day-to-day basis. All 4 of our teams also made it to the top 5 and the interview process earning them "time cards" to be used during the competition.
Teams from across Chipola's 5 county region competed in the contest which challenged the students to create robots that could race down an obstacle course in the fastest time as well as create log books designed to document the design and build of their robots.
We are very proud of our students! Being a small school, we aren't able to offer a lot of the science and engineering courses that larger schools offer. But our students proved that they can compete with the best of them!
