Stone Hill Team Wins State Robotics Competition
Stone Hill Middle School Team 6096A was crowned state champions along with their alliance, 80708Y Exobytes, from Montclair, at the VEX Robotics Middle School Division Virginia State Competition March 3-5 at the Meadow Event Park and State Fairgrounds in Doswell.
Team 6096A consists of Dhruva Repala, Vaibhava Sai Cherukuri, Arnav Gupta, Spandan Kalidasu, Aayan Repala and Arrush Shah. Its parent coaches, Chandra Shekhar Repala and Pratik Shah, were a huge help at the competition.
During the two-day state competition, 48 middle school teams worked in randomly assigned groups of two. The competition was called “Tipping Point.” For this competition, teams used their robots to move mobile goals into designated areas while gathering rings for stacking into those goals at various heights. In the last 30 seconds of the competition, teams would try to balance and park their robot and/or the mobile goals on their team’s seesaw for huge points.
Team 6096A is now headed to VEX World Competition in early May in Dallas. Last year, more than 200 teams attended the middle school event.
Information about the World Competition is available on the REC Foundation website.
Enginotic 6 Robotics and NOVA Systemic Solutions hosted the state competition. Teams qualified for the state event by competing at smaller regional events.
