Successful First Competition of the Season

Penfield, NY — The BH-BL High School robotics team, The Mecha Spartans completed our first of three state qualifier events over the weekend at Penfield High School, just outside of Rochester.

Overall, it was a very fun trip for the students, and provided a lot of learning opportunities that we took home with us to improve ourselves and our robot in preparation for our next two competitions in January.
