On April 16–17, Ridgedale students competed in the National Robotics Challenge in Marion, showcasing their creativity, problem-solving, and engineering skills.
🔹 Abi Place & Alexis Raby competed in Mini Sumo with their originally designed robots
🔹 Caleb Anderson & Mylez Crabtree competed in Robot Hockey with their custom-built bots
🔹 Pierson Smith competed in Rescue Robot, navigating using an FPV camera and headset
Mr. Sieg was very proud of the students’ hard work and innovation. Abi demonstrated strong autonomous coding skills, and she and Alexis designed their robot chassis using 3D CAD. Caleb’s hockey robot—built using a mini-fridge chassis—was nominated for the Honda Innovation Award, an honor among 450 robots at the competition!
As always, Ridgedale students represented us well—showing great sportsmanship and even helping students from other schools.
We are proud of all of our competitors and their accomplishments! 💙
