Wildcat Robotics Take First Place in the Spring 2008 Robot Track Meet!











The Wildcat Robotics Team "The NXT Generation" recently took part in their very first robotics competition and managed to bring home the overall first place trophy! Stand out performances included the Slope Climber team of Luke Krebs, Nicholas Krebs and Devin Cristianson. The slope climber robot was nearly out of the competition at the 60 percent incline level but came back to win as the lightest robot to climb a 72 percent incline. Team member AC Parson's robot beat out 17 other competitors to win first place in the fastest robot category. Strong placement in the Delivery Mission, Ping Pong Shot Put and Bridge Building categories contributed to winning the top prize at the competition.

Congrats to all team members who attended the competition - Dylan Richardson, Gabriel Grash, Audrey Beal, Kai Fox, Luke Krebs, Caffrey Fielding, Nick Krebs, Devin Christianson, Connor Ratcliff, Kohl Shaw, AC Parsons and Kat Murphy. The team was coached by Edward Fielding, Jim Fox, Jandrea Warren, Tammy Crossman-Turner and Max Crain. This season's track meet team was sponsored by Morris Yachts, Fishboy.com and Indalo Marine.
