Robotics Update: The Robotics & Automation 10/20/30 students competed at the Edmonton City VEX Regional Tournament this weekend. 25 teams attended the tournament. It was a good opening tournament for the teams with one of our robots fighting for first place throughout the day and remaining undefeated until the grand final. 306A with Ethel, Hunter and Shylynn is our #GirlPowered team. They finished the qualifications in the number one spot with 8 wins, 0 losses and 1 tie. Unfortunately they lost in the tournament’s grand final in a nail-biting 22-16 match. 306X with Carter, Kolby and Leon finished in 8th with a 5-4-0 record. They made to the semi-final match before being taken out by their classmates in 306A. 306K with Jake and Carl finished in 13th with a 4-4-1 record. They lost out in the round of 16. 306Z with Dustin and Henry finished in 20th with a 3-6-0 record and fought through to the quarter finals before losing out. 306B with Shay, Riley and Isaiah finished in 22nd with a 3-6-0 record. They lost out in the round of 16. Next up for the NCS Trojan Robotics group is a Calgary visit in December, a Sherwood Park trip in January and our home tournament in February.

The Robotics 10/20/30 class is in Edmonton this weekend for the Edmonton City VEX Regional. Feel free to drop by Fresh Express on the NAIT campus to see our students in action. We will post the results on Facebook at the end of the day.
