HALL ROBOTICS TEAM SCORES AGAIN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hall High School Robotics Team, entering its first national level competition, made it to the semi-finals and placed 6th overall.
At the national BEST competition at Auburn University in Alabama, the Hall HS team and their robotic entry, the BaconBot, outdistanced many other schools to reach the semi-finals of the event and take the number six slot overall.
The purpose of the BEST Robotics program is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, technology, and math through participation in a sports-like science and engineering-based robotics competition. Contributions from Trumpf Industries and the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving made it possible for the entry to be shipped to Auburn and for the students to travel there.
The Hall HS Robotics Team had previously taken first place in Robotics Engineering and second place overall in the Connecticut BEST Robotics competition, held this past October at CCSU.
Hall Robotics Team members are Nathaniel Barshay, David Haber, Nicole Rivilis, Dan Rodowicz, Woosung Lee, Feng Cheng and Nathan Tulchinsky, led by teacher Chet Bacon.
