Dalton Wins Manhattan Robotics Tournament

Last weekend, the HS Robotics teams opened its season at a tournament at the Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics. Two teams (Uncertainty Principle and General Relativity) competed in the event, and each chose a different strategy for this year's game.
Uncertainty Principle built a robot that focused on carefully picking up and stacking game pieces, while General Relativity chose a design that was much faster but less accurate. Both teams excelled in the qualifying rounds and advanced to the playoffs where General Relativity partnered with the home team and swept the semifinals and finals. 

In addition to winning on the field, both Dalton teams also received honors in the tournament’s judged categories: Uncertainty Principle won the Innovate Award for its custom build chassis, while General Relativity took home the Top Programming Award and placed third overall in judging.
