Robobots 2022

RoboBOTS was held on April 2 at Meadville Area Senior High.  There were over 160 students involved in RoboBOTS throughout the 16th school year of the program.  The Northwestern PA Chapter of the NTMA was pleased to welcome back spectators for this year's contest after a two-year hiatus.  Over 800 spectators came to witness the event.

Many thanks to the volunteers* who helped with preparation leading up to the event, setup, throughout the day, and tear down - Thank You!  Thanks also to Armstrong for recording the event again this year.  And shout out to Jon Durand, Robot Combat Announcer, for volunteering to spend his day with us as well.  This event is not possible without the help of these volunteers, the teacher / advisors, the support of administration and our sponsors! 

Competing schools included: Cambridge Springs, Cochranton, Commodore Perry, Conneaut Area, Conneaut Valley, General McLane, Parker Middle, Maplewood, Meadville, Saegertown, Union City, and Venango County Tech, and West Middlesex.  We look forward to welcoming Conneaut Middle, Corry, Erie High and Iroquois back next year.  Many thanks to the teachers for all the time they invest in the program and to the administrators for their continued support!
