Pueblo Robotics Team Wins Again

The Pueblo High Robotics Club won big at the Arizona Vex Robotic Tournament this weekend at Sahurita High School.

Pueblo’s “Robotic Asylum” Robotic Club entered four robots in the Operation Desert Duel at Sahurita High School. The team won 1st, 2nd, & 3rd & 8th place of eighteen teams entered. Though the competition was tough, it was made more interesting for our team when we battled each other for the top three spots!

The Pueblo High Robotics Club, know as Robotic Asylum, wins Arizona Vex Robotics Tournament at Sahuarita High School on Saturday, January 17, 2009. 

The team also won the Judges Award, given to a rookie team that overcame the most challenges to participate with professionalism. 

After 18 qualification round the team hung tough…being flipped over and parts falling off, we squeaked into the Final Rounds. 

Teamed with Continental Middle School (another rookie team) as the blue team, the challenge was huge to pull off a win against the other more experienced teams.

Teamwork & strategy work very well in the final rounds for blue alliance. The Continental Middle School Colts quietly scored goals while the Pueblo K9 robot aggressively blocked & took away points while scoring.

When the dust settled from the nail biting finals, our team went undefeated!
