Two SUSD high schools to compete in robotic competition

Posted

Two Scottsdale Unified School District high schools are among 13 Valley teams selected to participate in a baseball themed robotics competition hosted by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Honeywell Aerospace.
Both Arcadia and Saguaro high schools will compete in the contest at Chase Field Sept. 8.

Each team received a VEX V5 starter kit and inertial sensor to help build their robot, and now representatives from the Diamondbacks and Honeywell will watch the teams’ creations come to life during a three-part competition. Each robot will be judged on how many home runs it can hit during a home run derby, how well it can field a ball, and how accurate it can throw a ball.

The first place team gets $2,000, second place gets $1,500 and the third place team gets $1,000. All remaining schools will receive $500 to support their robotics teams.
