This past Saturday, the three elementary VEX IQ competitive robotics teams from Winters' Well, Desert Sunset, and Tartesso attended their first competition of the season in Ahwatukee. It was the first-ever tournament for about half of our students in the program. The teams did great! Team 35220A from Winters' Well even qualified for the playoffs and finished the tournament in 5th place overall. Great job teams!
On Saturday, the RFMS VEX Robotics teams traveled to Avondale for their first competition of the season. For the first time in SMUSD history, both teams won an award. Team B won the Judges' Award, and Team A won the first Design Award in the district's 12-year competitive history. It also includes an automatic invite to the State Finals and the US Open in Iowa during spring break. It is a great start to our competition season!
