Robo Warriors Win Another Title

The Trinity Robo Warriors of Trinity Christian School in Morgantown battled a snowstorm and 16 other teams at Wheeling Jesuit University to earn the 2009 West Virginia FIRST Lego League state tournament title, its second consecutive state championship.

A winter storm that blanketed West Virginia prevented 10 of the 27 teams entered in the annual event from making it to Wheeling. The 27 teams had been the most ever scheduled to compete in the robotics tournament. Still, more than 100 youth ages 9-14 took part in the event, which was being held at the Center for Educational Technologies for the fifth consecutive year.

Morgantown Teams Sweep Top Spots at Robotics Championship

Wed Dec 17 2008

A pair of Morgantown teams finished 1-2 in the annual West Virginia FIRST LEGO League robotics tournament, breaking the three-year winning streak of another Morgantown team.

The tournament, which was funded through a grant from the West Virginia NASA Space Grant Consortium, was held Dec. 13 at the Center for Educational Technologies®. About 200 youngsters ages 9-14 on 24 teams took part in the competition. Dr. Meri Cummings, science resource teacher at the center, served as tournament director for the fourth year in a row.

Taking first place were the Trinity Robo Warriors coached by MaryAnn Post of Trinity Christian School. Their state championship earned them an invitation to April’s FIRST LEGO League World Festival in Atlanta. Team members are Julian Bailes, Zack Kaehler, Eric Post, and Oliver Weigand.
