Wawasee Robotics Teams Shine At StateINDIANAPOLIS – Wawasee Iron Pride Robotics won the Indiana VEX Robotics State Championships Saturday, bringing home four trophies against Indiana’s 60 best teams at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Wawasee competed with more teams than any other school at the event and made its mark on the tournament with teams 574C, 574D, 574E and 574N, making it from qualifying rounds and moving on to the elimination bracket.
“In 12 years of robotics I haven’t seen a group of kids so driven,” said Wawasee coach Jed Wandland. This is the second state title that Iron Pride has earned in three years. “They build on the success of each group year after year.”
Two Wawasee teams, 574C and 574D, advanced to the VEX World Championships April 24-27 in Louisville, Ky. That tournament will have 600 teams from 40 countries.
