This weekend, the AdamBots hosted the OCCRA Diversity Tournament at Rochester Adams High School! After an introduction from Mr. Cusumano, Adams High School’s principal, the matches began. The day’s schedule is different from most competitions and consisted of two all-male matches, two co-ed matches, two mentor matches, and two all-female matches. The different kinds of matches meant that we had many different drive teams throughout the day. In our drive team for the mentor matches,  an AdamBot alumni and the Adams High School vice principal Mr. Calcamuggio drove our robot Baby Shark and even won the high score of the day. By the end of the day, we won third place and the Technical Excellence Award as well!

During the event, some of our students demoed our 2009 robot, Olympia, and sold rubber ducks to raise donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Thanks to those who donated!

Our next event will be the Oxford Tournament at Oxford Middle School on Thursday, November 8th. We hope to see you there!
