Santa Maria students participate in friendly robotics tournament to prep for real competition in May

The competition was a"friendship tournament" to allow students to experience the competition format in a teamwork style ahead of an actual competition scheduled for May. The Delta High School VEX Robotics program helped the SMBSD students, with the high school students serving as referees and assisting with the programs necessary to run the event. Delta students have been supporting SMBSD students and teachers in recent weeks.

As students go through these rounds, the robots with the highest scores will rise to the top of the ranking, demonstrating that it takes a skilled team build and collaboration to win.

The tournament featured students from Battles, Fairlawn, Jimenez, Liberty, Libbon and Ontiveros schools. Students will take what they learned from this tournament to redesign robots and refine their skills to improve and prepare for the official competition later this spring.
