Three FRC teams each earned $500 for their innovative design solutions in the 2017 MSHSL Robotics Tournament.
On Saturday, May 20, Dunwoody gave out three Outstanding Engineering & Design Awards at the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Robotics Championship at Mariucci Arena.
Dunwoody Mechanical Engineering Instructor Jonathan Aurand judged each of the state’s top 30 FIRST Robotics teams competing in the tournament and made selections based on unique engineering design solutions to robotic challenges.
The award acknowledges that while winning the tournament is a major achievement, innovation can come from creative thinking, experimentation, failure, and budgetary and/or engineering constraints. Each of the winning teams took home a trophy and a check for $500.
Congratulations to the following high school FIRST Robotics teams for earning the Outstanding Engineering & Design Award:
- Team 2883 Warroad High School
- Team 4198 Waconia Senior High School
- Team 5172 Greenbush-Middle River
