Last weekend, CORE hosted our annual VEX tournaments. Saturday, the day of our middle school tournament, had a turnout of 40 teams that competed on two fields. The next day, there was not only 20 high school teams that came, but the army participated with a robot of their own. It was inside a glass enclosure in which participants could drive the robot around the obstacle course to test their skills. After that was done, everyone could test their strength by doing a couple pull ups on a bar, comparing themselves to the strong soldiers. There were many capable volunteers that spent their time working all weekend to prepare for the many events. They made sure that the visitors could focus on cheering for their favorite teams. Needless to say, South’s gym was jam packed with robotic excitement!
