Altha robotics teams place at Chipola Workforce competition

Altha school competed May 1 in the annual Robotics competition hosted by the Chipola Regional Workforce Development Board in Marianna. This is the school’s third year of competition and this year we had two teams to compete.  The Leadership Class robot, “The Shoal” team, including Hunter Baggett, Christina Watson, Chelsey Jones, Madison Rowe, Brittany Graham and Brina Yand, placed first in the log book competition. This event consisted of a log book documenting the design process, the challenges faced during robot construction and how the team met those challenges, as well as an interview the day of competition. The Ag team, “Team Optimus,” included Brooke Coleman, Jacob O’Bryan and Tyler Bramblett. They placed third in the log book competition, as well as third in actual head to head competition using their robot.
