It was a successful run at this year's annual NCCC Tech Wars, as Tonawanda High School students placed second overall.
Tonawanda took first and third place in the premiere Tech Wars event using VEX robots. Tonawanda rarely enters this event because it requires coding and some higher-level mechanisms. Entering with some newer level robots, this is the first time the students have placed in this category!
The team of Aly Bell and Jaxon Rodriguez took first place out of 42 teams and over 10 schools.
The team of Matt Sherry and Josh Smith placed third.
Tonawanda students also placed in the following categories:
Capture the Flag robot event:
First Place: Braiden Forsha/Anthony D'Amico
Third Place: Kyle Klimkiewicz/Jasper Vara
King of the Hill robot event:
Second Place: Zander Ashby/Matt Siminski
Onsite Problem Solving (move a ping ball w/o touching through a maze):
Fourth Place: Jackson Shepler/Marian Shepler/Vincent Shepler
Cardboard Chair Design
Fourth Place: Nick Graf
Great job to all!
