The Southside Junior High and Senior High Robotics teams recently celebrated wins at the NAESC Robotics Competition. The competition was hosted by the Northcentral Arkansas Education Service Cooperative (NAESC) earlier this week.
The Kool-Aid Crusaders team made up of Adrian Ziranda-Ring , DJ Brown, Kyle Minyen, and Jayden Halsell won first prize in the competition by successfully completing several rounds of clawbot missions. The particular games and scoring software for this competition were invented by Southside’s own Zander Johnson and other Robotics students.
Southside had five junior high teams and three senior high teams compete. “These students got a chance to display their hard work, strategic thinking and creativity with these clawbots,” said Southside Robotics sponsor Daniel Powers. “It was a fun day full of challenging competition and it’s always nice to bring home a trophy.”
