Congratulations and Thank You!

McKamy hosted 24 middle school robotics teams Saturday for our 2nd Annual VEX Competition called Starstruck!

Congratulations goes to 5 of our McKamy teams for finishing with honors:

There was a lot of cheering in the finals from McKamy as..... McKamy’s Battlebotz team finished on the Tournament Champion Alliance along with Sub-Zero from Neobots Club and Hudson Hawks from Garland ISD! This will earn them an invitation to the VEX State Championships in Greenville.

McKamy’s newest team CyberKnights finished on the Tournament Runner Up Alliance!

McKamy's Starminatorz finished Qualifying Rounds in top 10 in 9th place!

McKamy’s Excalibots team received the honor of the Judges Award for perseverance and exemplary effort in overcoming challenges as a team during the competition!

McKamy’s Robot Destroyers team received the honor of the Sportsman Award as the team that has earned the respect and admiration of the judges, volunteers and the other robotics teams not only as tough competitors but as mentors of other teams.

McKamy Robotics Club thanks McKamy and all our volunteers…we could not have done this competition without you!
