Robotics: A Varsity Sport for the Mind

Saturday, March 23, 2013

Students on the high school robotics team have been preparing for their disc scoring game, Ultimate Ascent, for months now.

Some of them have also competed on Swampscott High athletic teams, among them Melinda Wilson and Phil Cherner.

Robotics is a varsity sport for the mind, a few of the members said.

The Boston First competition got underway Thursday and ends today at Boston University’s Agannis Arena.
