It was great time spent with like minded creative people. Next year’s MSHSL Art Contest will be held at the South Ridge School. This is a prestigous event and we are proud to host such an event. Over 40 South Ridge robotics students presented their robotic constructions at this years Robofest. 2nd through6th Graders demonstrated lego constructions, computer programmed to move as prescribed. 7th-12th Grade students competed in the regional annual contest of programming and building towards a common task. The contest involved programming a vehicle to “clear a path (knocking blocks off ground) to a burning building (blocks with aluminum foil ball)” to “save the public from the roof”. Points are awarded for meeting parts or all of the task. Teams work together re-programming and testing their robots until the moment they compete.
