Saratoga High School’s VEX Robotics Team 95071V won the Robot Skills Champion and the Design Award at the VEX Spin Up Tournament last month, qualifying them for the US Open Robotics Championship in March 2023 in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
The school competed against 26 other teams from 10 other high schools at the tournament in Placer, Calif.
“The teamwork and collaboration prior to each competition is impressive and such an important part of the journey,” said Bill W. Sanderson, superintendent of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. “I know that students can spend hours per week crafting and perfecting their robots. We are so proud that our students are able to apply the theoretical lessons of math and physics that they learn in the classroom to the design and program of their creation.”
Team 95071V had to create a robot within the 18-by-18- by-18-inch size limit that would intake and accurately shoot discs into goals, spin rollers to a designated color and expand across a 12-foot-by-12-foot field.
The team had the highest combined score of driver’s skills and autonomous programming. Team members are freshmen Shrina Cao, Quinn Gifford, Richard Lee, Eliza Lin, Adit Sharma and Ruiyab Zhu.
The school’s other team, Team 95071X, was honored as a tournament finalist. The team includes freshmen Kimi Chan, Lia Go, Vivian Lei, Sophie Qin and Bryan Zhao.
VEX Robotics puts together various robotics competitions around the world for students from elementary to post-secondary programs.
Saratoga High School’s VEX Robotics program is an after-school program. This is their second competitive season.
