Congratulations to Plainwell Robotics Club's elementary school VEX IQ teams who had another successful weekend. Gilkey team "Gearheads" and Cooper team "TP Titans" joined forces and won the VEX IQ Robotics Tournament at Charlotte. The "Gearheads" placed first and the "TP Titans" placed 2nd after nine matches in the Qualifying Round. The two teams then formed the 1st place alliance and defeated the 2nd place alliance 98-97 in the Final Round. As a result of their win, the teams have received invitations to the State Elementary School VEX IQ Championship Tournament to be held at Monroe County Community College on March 11. Thirty-one middle and elementary school teams from central Michigan participated in the event, including four other PRC teams. Starr team "Robo Sharks" finished the tournament in 5th place and Gilkey team "Robot Guardians" finished eighth. Gilkey team "The Gecko Bots", and Starr team "Short Circuits" finished the Qualifying Rounds in 26th and 27th place.
PRC's Cooper team "The Rocket" had a very successful day, too. They chose to participate in the VEX IQ Tournament at Traverse City - another elementary and middle school event - where they placed 7th (of 33) after the Qualifying Round and finished 5th in the tournament's Final Round.
Congratulations to all seven team's members, coaches, and parents!
