In their first-ever trip to the state finals, NDCL's robotics team finished sixth in a field of 36 teams that made the cut for the championship tournament. This year a total of 106 teams in Ohio participated in the FIRST Tech Challenge robotics competition.
The team is already strategizing on improvements to their robot for next year.
"We did not advance to world competition this year, but we will one day," said robotics coach and mathematics/engineering teacher Mrs. Ashley Kelm. "We have so many big plans!"
