Bonita Robotics Club makes quarterfinals at VEX Robotics tournament
BVH’s other team, 751B, lost during the first playoff rounds.
The MHS cafeteria was adorned with their typical mascot decorations along with many posters of robotic team names and codes of conduct for the tournament. In front of the bleachers the two fields for the rounds were set up. Each one had three platforms, poles with flags and yellow balls that the robots interacted with during each round. Each robot gained different amounts of points when they climbed on top platforms or hit a flag with a ball. Each match had four teams competing, paired 2 v 2. The pair of teams that scored the most points won that match.
Along with BVH, many Sweetwater Union High School District robotics teams participated in the tournament such as Mar Vista High School, Sweetwater High School and Palomar High School. The champions of the SUHSD VEX Robotic League were San Ysidro High School Teams 8301E and 8301D. Additionally, Otay Ranch High School’s Team 507A received an Excellence Award. These three teams will move on to the State competition.
