🤖 Robots on the Move!

We hosted 27 teams from 9 Maine schools last Saturday at Maine Maritime Academy for our VEX V5 “Push Back” robotics competition — and what a showdown! After a day of tight matches, the Tournament Champions were revealed: the Snugglemuffins from John Bapst ...High School, who brought their A-game (and some serious robot swagger).

Huge congratulations to all the teams for their creativity, teamwork, and passion for engineering. Thanks to everyone who came out, cheered, and supported these amazing young innovators.
