CovCath Competes in First Ever Robotics Match!

By: Bob Lind (cch IT coordinator & Robotics club moderator)

Covington Catholic made its first appearance in robotics competition and had some success. We came in 27^th out of 76 teams. We ended 4 and 2 in the tournament. We were 1 inch away from winning our last game and bumping us to about a 15^th place finish and a possible playoff birth. The boys were awesome. The team scouted out alliances and opponents. They consulted with each other and laid out game plans with alliance team members. They had a great time. The judges came by and met with them and checked out their portfolio. They were so impressed with their knowledge and enthusiasm, that they sent two more sets of judges to meet the boys. When it was all said and done we won the Judges Award. I heard tremendous praises coming from the judges afterwards.
