Robotics (VEX) Team

RE students help make regional robotics event at Ransom Everglades a success

Five Ransom Everglades robotics teams competed at the South Florida High Stakes Regional Qualifier in VEX V5 October 20, joining a field of 38 teams from across the region in a thrilling day of matches in a jammed Anderson gymnasium. The students worked in groups to build and program their robots to accomplish certain tasks – placing rings on stakes, scoring goals and climbing at the end of the match – faster than competitors' robots. All advanced to the day's elimination rounds. The tournament was directed by RE robotics coach and engineering teacher Bob DuBard.
