On Saturday the Versailles High School Robotics Team traveled to Loveland to compete in a robotics competition. Of the four teams from Versailles, one of them was able to qualify for the final tournament. This team was led by Nathaniel Drees and Alex Westgerdes. We also had two teams set their highest Skills competition scores of the season. At a Robotics competition, each team gets six qualifying matches. In a qualifying match, each team gets randomly paired with another team. They take on another team of two robotics to see who can score the most points. Points are scored by being able to launch balls across the field and score them under a goal. After qualifying matches are done, teams are ranked for the final tournament. In the final tournament, the top 16 teams get to select partners for the tournament. Robotics competitions also have Skill Challenges. Robots are driven and programmed to see how many points they can score on their own.

We would like to thank 1976 graduate David Layman and his family for their generous donation to put towards a new Trackman Golf Simulator for our boys and girls golf programs.
