Oswego Robotics Team Competes in VEX Robotic Challenge
Challenge for mini-competition was released in late October.
On Saturday, December 8, the Oswego Robotics (FIRST FRC Team 2338 - Gear it Forward) headed to Winnebago, IL to compete in the annual VEX Robotic “Flapjack Challenge.”
Students and mentors enjoyed flapjacks while they watched the robots compete and advance to elimination rounds. One of the two OEHS/OHS VEX robots advanced all the way to the winning alliance.
The challenge for the mini-competition was released in late October. Participating teams from Aurora, Batavia, Mundelein, Oswego and Winnebago were given 6 weeks to brainstorm, design, build, and test drive their robotic creations.
