By: Chris Vollmer, Computer Science Instructor & Robotics Sponsor On Saturday, November 12th, the D'Evelyn Robotics Team competed in the BEST Robotics competition held at Englewood High School. The team, consisting of Luke Battagline, Lilly Battagline, Audrey Hagan, P.J. Vu, Grayson Neptune, and Glenn Spofford, was awarded a trophy and medals for their third-place finish. BEST which stands for Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology is a national organization that sponsors regional robotics competitions. All teams are provided with the materials needed to build a robot. They are given eight weeks to design, build, program, and test the robot. During the competition, teams earn points by controlling the robot to perform specific tasks. This year's team battled through some initial challenges during the first round. The drivers and robot performed splendidly and proved to be stiff competition for bigger schools that spend much time working on their robots during the school day. Congratulations to the 2022 D'Evelyn Robotics team. The D'Evelyn Cheerleading team had a strong weekend by winning the 4a/5a division and winning grand champions overall at the Thunder Cheer Championships on Friday, Nov 11.
