First year VEX Robotics Middle School Team S.A.M.E. had just a stellar 2015-2016 robotics season thus far. They did not disappoint for the Minnesota State Competition at the River's Edge Convention Center on January 29-30 either! The team ranked 10th place out of 70 teams after the two days of Qualification Matches. They were chosen as an alliance team and made it to the Semi-Finals. They were up against some really tough High School teams but held their own as much as they could.
We remained hopeful in winning an award for which had included an invite to the Worlds Championship in Kentucky and low and behold Team S.A.M.E. indeed won the Middle School Excellence Award, which qualifies them for VEX Worlds Championship in Louisville in April 2016.
Team S.A.M.E. is trying to raise funds to help the deter the costs of the competition registration fee, car rental and hotel stay during the 4 day competition.
