Robots Assemble: Archer Students Dominate at Robotics Tournament
On Sunday, February 16, the Upper School robotics team, The Muses, and the Middle School robotics team, Robo Panthers, competed at the Inter-League Tournament held at Monrovia High School. Members of the Upper School robotics team shared their experience with their younger counterparts in preparation for the competition. In particular, Lucy K. ’26 dedicated time to teaching the Middle School robotics team as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award.
Of the 30 teams that participated in the tournament, the Robo Panthers secured 7th place while the Muses took 8th place. The Robo Panthers advanced to the semifinals and engaged in playoff matches, whereas the Muses earned the 2nd place Control Award for their effective use of sensors and software on the playing field. This marked Archer's first year with both a Middle and Upper School robotics team participating in the FIRST Tech Challenge, allowing both teams to support one another throughout the season.
