At the NC FIRST Lego League State Championships in Greensboro on Sunday, February 3rd, the Saint Peter Catholic School Wiredcats Green team finished 5th out of 60 teams in the robot game and the Wiredcats Blue team finished 14th. Wiredcats Green's score of 171 was the 7th highest robot game score of the 120 teams that qualified for either the Saturday or Sunday State Championship tournament brackets. (There are over 500 FLL teams in North Carolina.) The Wiredcats Green team also got a judging callback because of their outstanding engineering project which included a working model of robotically adjustable liquid lens glasses.
Both Wiredcats teams qualified for the State Championships because of their performances at the Winterville regional NCFLL qualifier tournament, where Wiredcats Green won the Champions Award for best overall team and Wiredcats Blue won the 1st Place Innovative Solution Award for their research project.
Wiredcats Green members are Alex Cooper (7th grade), Jamie Galinis (7th), Jeremiah Reid (8th), Gerald Reiling (7th), Jake van Reede (6th), Michelle Saucedo-Trinidad (7th), Jackson Schreiber (8th), Will Wright (6th), and Sunook Yoon (6th).
Wiredcats Blue members are Brayden Boykin (6th grade), Wright Collins (6th), Carson Koesters (6th), Tiago Marlow (7th), Jasmine Pandya (7th), Ryan Scargle (6th), Rylan Tuten (7th), and Mark Warren (6th).
Faculty members Mr. John Bell (head coach), Mrs. Katie Howard, and Mrs. Chelsea Haigwood, as well as SPCS parents Mr. Kevin Pandya and Mr. Bernardo Saucedo, worked together to coach our teams this season. Parents of our team members worked as volunteers throughout the day at the Greensboro tournament and were important in creating a positive experience for our students.
