PCS ROBOTICS: Three of the Plainwell Robotics Club's High School teams participated in the State VEX Robotics Championships on Saturday (February 27) held at Kettering University. Seventy-eight HS teams qualified for the event, which was run as two 39-team divisions. The division champions then played one additional match to determine the Tournament Champions. The PCS teams placed 8th and 22nd in one division and 14th in the other division after the qualifying round. All three teams captioned alliances in the playoff rounds and were eliminated in the round of sixteen — thus bringing the Club's second (only) HS competition season to an end.
Congratulations to these talented students, their coaches and parents for a very rewarding season. Trojan pride!
