Botball Robotics Team, Wins Third Place

AMSA’s Botball Robotics team, the Eaglebotz, visited UMASS Lowell in April for the regional robotics competition.  The team worked for twelve weeks to engineer and code two robots in preparation for this regional tournament.

At the competition, the Botball team showed off their presentation and coding skills to prove them a force to be reckoned with.  AMSA placed first for the team’s Onsite Presentation, analogous to a technical paper presentation, and won third place overall out of twenty-three other teams.

During the actual competition, AMSA’s robots battled against others to complete certain tasks. This involved offensive and defensive strategies that the team needed to anticipate in their coding. AMSA’s team won third place overall for their performance during this portion of the competition.

Each team member contributed to the win. The Botball team members include Ian Banatoski (not in picture), Navin Lal, Natalie Reed, Michael Abadjiev, Jamieson Dunne, Dan Warner, John Hulton, Rohan Modur, Christine Hsieh, Hope Clairmont, Janette Fong, Gal Bejerano, Sasha Stein, Perry Yee, Kasandra Yee, Sushant Raj, and Grace Ding.  

The AMSA team has gained much experience from this year’s season and is looking forward to an even better one next year!
