Lanesborough Elementary Robotics Team Wins Berkshire Title

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
DALTON, Mass. – Lanesborough Elementary School Saturday continued its dynasty at the Berkshire Robotics Challenge at Wahconah Regional High School.
 
Lanesborough’s Robotic Wyverns defeated the Whacky Bots, 300-230, in the championship match to conclude a full day of competition.
 
Twenty-five teams from across the county participated in the 25th edition of the competition sponsored by the Berkshire Innovation Center.
 
For the third time in four years, Lanesborough’s pupils came out on top of the heap.
 
“They’re good kids,” LES coach Sean MacDonald said. “I feel like we’re doing a pretty good job. We just keep them focused, and that’s really the main thing.”
 
“It’s a fun job,” added Renee Schiek, the Wyverns’ other coach.
 
Lego Robotics allows youngsters to get hands-on experience with coding robots that then complete a series of missions – picking up objects, moving levers, pushing objects – to accumulate points.
