Students in the Robotics classes at Bluestone Middle School, Park View Middle School, Bluestone High School, and Park View High School are competing in an online robotics competition. Students designed robots by building them with legos and using software to program them. In order to showcase the interesting designs, the division is hosting an online competition for students within the county. Students and staff submitted videos of the actual robots and their performances and these have been placed on a competition blog so that students, parents, community members, etc. can vote on their favorite robots. Winners will be determined in several categories..
Middle school students are competing in a performance category and high school students are competing in a design as well as a performance category. There are 6 entries in the middle school performance category, 5 entries in the high school design category, and 7 entries in the high school performance category.

There is a link on the competition blog that will take viewers to a short survey where they can vote for their favorite robot in each category. We will collect votes through March 1 and then we will determine which robot is the winner in each category.

The link for the competition is:
