‘Roverines’ Take Home Two More First Place Trophies

The Middle Country Central School District’s Newfield High School “Roverines” robotics team recently continued its extraordinarily successful year with another first place tournament trophy at a regional VEX Robotics competition. The competition, hosted at Adelphi University, brought together student teams from high schools in Westchester, New York City and Long Island.

 

“The entire District is incredibly proud of our Roverines as they continue the incredible streak of thoughtful and innovative performances at robotics competitions,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Roberta Gerold. “Their success is a testament to a District—and a community—that provides students opportunities to engage in STEM inside the classroom and through multiple extracurricular programs.”

 

The Roverines also came in first place in the competition’s skills challenge. The trophy is given to the team that accumulates the most points between the autonomous-control and driver-control challenges.

 

The students have one more regional competition in East Rockaway before they will compete in the Southern New York State VEX Robotics Championship.  They will look to repeat their first place performances and once again move onto the VEX Worlds Competition in Louisville, Kentucky.
