Team Out of Stock, led by Mashpee Middle-High School sophomores Sean Ware and Camden Perry, placed second out of 21 teams in a VEX Robotics live remote tournament presented by the REC Foundation on Saturday, April 17.
Teams from all over the world signed up for this virtual competition as eight different states and four additional countries were represented in this tournament. Out of Stockâs partner was a duo from Singapore. Team Paradigm, from Redwood City, California, and ROBOSheen from Lexington won the event.
âItâs really cool they are competing against teams all over the world and in the nation because those teams that are competing still today are high-caliber,â Mashpee robotics coach Amanda Hough said.
For the first time in program history, the Mashpee Middle-High School robotics team has won the Southern New England VEX Robotics Championship.
With the victory on March 27, four members of the program earned a chance to compete in the Live Remote VEX Robotics World Championship beginning on May 14.
