Middles School Robotics Team Competes at VEX World Championship

The Belmont Hill Middle School Robotics Team travelled to Dallas, Texas at the end of April for the VRC World Championships to compete against 480 of the best middle school Vex robotics programs from around the world. In the VEX Robotics Competition, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge.

While the boys put up a strong performance, making it to the World Championships as a first year team is a significant achievement in and of itself! Congratulations to Form II students Ryan Chang-Wu, Brendan Kilpatrick, and Alex Savoulides.

Belmont Hill Robotics is available to all students as an extracurricular club, meeting in the Bolles Makerspace during X block and after school blocks, and additionally in the winter season as a competitive or intramural team to fulfill the winter sport requirement.
