The Alva Robotics team Technic Gold won the robotics competition during Heartland BEST's "Off the Grid" event on Nov. 1-2. The team competed against seven other teams from Oklahoma and Kansas in the BEST competition. They presented a marketing strategy, a trade show booth, an engineering notebook, and competed with their robot on the field.
During the robotics competition they placed first in the preliminary rounds, first in the semi-finals and first in the finals. They also were awarded third place in the BEST competition, the Founders Award for demonstrating innovation in their robot design, and first place with their house design.
Their first-place finish qualifies them to advance to the Rocky Mountain BEST regional competition being held in Denver, Colorado, on December 7-8, 2019.
The team sincerely wants to thank the community for their support this season, and will be fund raising in the next few weeks to cover their travel expenses to Denver. If you would like to help the team, please contact April Ridgway at 580-917-0101.
