Livingston Robotics Club Gives Young Inventors A Chance To Shine

LIVINGSTON, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Livingston Robotics Club. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.

Livingston residents Eli Morse, an 8th grader at Morristown Beard; Sophie Chua, a 6th grader at Mt. Pleasant Middle; and Arnav Jadhav, a 7th grader from West Essex middle School, have joined forces to form the formidable VEXPERTS team at the new location for the Livingston Robotics Club.

Despite being newcomers to VexIQ, this dynamic trio wasted no time in making waves within the VEX community. The VEXPERTS were fortunate to have support from the LRC, Bill Lam, Carmen Yung, and three dedicated mentors from Livingston High School team. High school students Ahana Agraqal, Lelun Li, and Jaehee Lee, were guiding them, ensuring they remained focused and motivated.

The team's progress was nothing short of remarkable, evident right from their debut competition where they astoundingly clinched two awards. Throughout the regular season and two subsequent competitions, the VEXPERTS consistently demonstrated their prowess, culminating in an impressive 24th ranking in the state of New Jersey, with the point differential closing in.

The Livingston Robotics Club commends the dedication and achievements of Eli, Sophie, Arnav, and their mentors, and wishes them the best of luck as they continue to showcase their talent and tenacity on the global stage.
