Parent
Kimberly Ramos didn’t know what to expect when she came to watch her daughter
Sophia Ramos (3rd) participate in her first VEX IQ competition. “Who knew how
much crazy, chaotic, excitement would be going on at a Robotics Competition.
Surprisingly fun!” From 7am to 5pm, T.C. Ching Student Center was abuzz with
over a hundred young roboticists competing in over 110
matches!
Lancer Robotic’s inaugural Lancer VEX IQ Challenge was a big success with many student
and parent volunteers. The MCs Madison Iwashita (4th) and Tya Hunter (5th) were
great MCs with good public speaking confidence. The event opened with Andromeda
Tong (5th) the Star Spangled Banner and Hawaii Ponoi with her
beautiful voice.
There
were 23 teams participating from 12 elementary and middle schools around the
island. Lancer Robotics had two Lower School and two Jr. HS teams – Sara Inao
(3rd), Sadie Takaki (3rd), Sophia Ramos (3rd),
Sophia Pedrosa (3rd), Aureanna Vendiola (3rd), Abegail
Aguirre (4th), Nanami Mehring (6th), Hunter Kim
(7th), Auli’i Ludington (8th), and Lauren Matsukawa
(8th). Congratulations to our 3rd grade team Sara Inao and
Sadie Takaki for ranking 10th overall in qualification matches and
entering the finals!
The
tournament champions were the Navigator Robotics Team 4442C from Island Pacific
Academy and the Mililani Masters Team 11173B (an independent team). They were
the dominant forces with their incredible robots, winning the Design Award
(4442C), Judges Award (11173B), Robot Skills Champion Award (4442C), Programming
Skills Champion Award (11173B), and Sportsmanship Award
(4442C).
