This week we concluded our VEX Robotics League. Our 60466A Team took home the Tournament Finalist Award (Pictured below with their alliance from Bloom Trail). Please congratulate them when you see them. This year we had five teams competing from Rich Township. All of the teams have done a great job and four of the teams are still in the running to qualify for the State championships. We are cohosting the state championships with Millikin University in Decatur on March 10th and 11th. The four teams still in it (A, B, C, and F) will be competing on 2/26 for their last chance to get in so please encourage them in the upcoming efforts.
