Lincoln County Robotics at Tennessee State Competition!

I am so proud of this team. They competed in 10 qualification matches and finals in two days. Nate drove well and listened to his teammates. Emerson worked hard on the programming and helping his team. Lexi helped lead the team through interviews and kept them on track. Rylie volunteered to be a field re setter and she reset the playing field for 80 qualification matches and final rounds. Sadie scouted other teams for us. Andrew and Jonathan were amazing mentors for these kids! Our team finished 11th in the state! I highlighted some numbers. They finished 4th in offensive playing and 5th in their contribution to winning! Our coach, Ms. Marty won the teacher of the year award!
