Royal Technic Robotics Win at Grove City
This weekend at Grove City College, the CVCA Royal Technic Robotics team brought home a huge win! This year’s theme challenged students to imagine what it is like to traverse the surface of the moon. The team’s robot, Nebula, drove on a canvas tarp over wooden obstacles collecting needed items like power supplies in order to survive on the moon. The team’s drivers placed first in the driving competition. BEST Robotics also challenges each team to create a marketing presentation, a team exhibit, and an engineering notebook. CVCA did these tasks with excellence and finished in 1st or 2nd place in each, bringing the overall BEST Award home. The team qualified for the regional championships in Colorado Springs in December. Congratulations!
Tournament Success for the Talking Royals
On Saturday, the Talking Royals competed against 23 other teams at Hudson High School. Katie Siff led the team with a 2nd place finish in United States Extemporaneous Speaking. Rachel Weygandt finished 6th over all in Congressional Debate, while Anna Trenta and Talie Koch took 6th in Public Forum Debate. CVCA entered middle school students in competition for the first time in over two decades, with Lucas Paraizo taking 6th in Extemporaneous Debate and the Public Forum pair of Khamya Allshouse and Mae Nye also taking 6th.
