On Wed April 23 the Vex Robotics Championships will begin and last until Friday the 25. The championship will be held in Louisville. Each team will compete in a round robin tournament, so if they win they advance.

Dean Harmon a 3 year member of the Robotics club said, “we have been scrimmaging other Baltimore county teams in order to prepare for the Championship.”

Differing from last year, teams will be competing to see who can stack more cones. Last year they were competed to see who could throw more straws over a fence.

“We will almost definitely make it to the elimination round, but probably won’t win,” Harmon said. “I’m super excited go and beat other teams and to show off all of our hard work.”
