The Walsh Middle School Robotics team had its first day of competition in the VEX World Robotics Championships in Kentucky on Thursday.
The team is posting updates from Kentucky, and lost its first match, but ”their robot was rock solid.”
In match 2, the team’s “motor wire unplugged.”
In March, WalshBots 9791C, known as the “C-cret Agentz”, won the Southern New England VEX Middle School Regional Competition in Worcester. The team beat out about 40 middle school teams from Massachusetts and Connecticut to earn a spot at the World Championships this weekend.
WalshBots 9791C team members include Ryan Memmott, Brendan Qi, and Reid Xu.
Three members of Walshbots 9791, “Axle,” Sam Moffet, Liam Neal Reilly, and Nick Tessitore, are joining “C-cret Agentz” in Louisville to help scout the competition and form alliances with other teams, build and drive the robot, and program its autonomous mode.
Framingham Patch will continue to post updates during the competition.
