GMS Robotics Team Head to Regionals


Congratulations to Grandview Middle School teacher Jason Reese and GMS First Lego League Robotics Team for advancing to the Championship at Union Station in January. This is the first time a Grandview school has qualified for the Kansas City regional competition in Lego League robotics!
The GMS Techno Dogs robotics team competed at the local qualifying tournament.    During the competition the team presented a research project, completed a team building activity, and discussed the design of their robot and game strategy with judges.  In the afternoon the team got three attempts to score as many points as possible on the robot playing field. The team’s high score was 261 points, which was good enough for 14th place.  However, they were selected by the judges as having the most creative solution to the trash related project they worked on.  This award, plus finishing in the top half of robot game scores, qualified them for the Kansas City Regional Competition at Union Station January 16th!
