Both of the Carman-Ainsworth VEX Middle School Robotics teams competed again on Saturday. They were amongst 32 Middle School teams competing. After the qualification matches both Carman-Ainsworth teams were paired together as the number 1 alliance team as they went into the elimination brackets including 8 different alliance teams.

The Carman-Ainsworth teams came out victorious together, defeating a Cranbrook alliance in the finals!

One of the teams also won the overall Champion Award, based on an interview with judges regarding the Engineering notebook they have compiled regarding their team and design process.

The other team won the Skills Challenge Award based on their programming skills and robot driving skills. (Carman-Ainsworth took 4 of the 6 trophies home!)

Both teams qualified for the state tournament as a result of their success. It will be at MSU on February 19. A good showing there qualifies teams to compete in the world championship in April. We would love for you to attend!

Members of the C-AMS teams include:

Lydia, Parker, Ainsley, Alex, Caleb, Kya, Jack, Micah, Leanders, Adrien, and Sonny
