After three long days of competition, the LHS Arctic Warriors Robotics team took first place at the Finger Lakes Regional Championship. The FIRST Robotics Program (FRC) is targeted at high-school-aged teams to provide an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. The first weekend in March, over 50 teams from the Rochester/Syracuse area went to RIT to compete in the regional event.
Liverpool, whose main sponsor was Carrier, was the first team to successfully defend its title at the Finger Lakes Regional. The school has won three regional titles in the past four years. In addition to winning the competition, the Arctic Warriors also received the Delphi "Driving Tomorrow's Technology" Award for their traction control system, Best Software Award and two team spirit awards.
Snobot's drive team which consisted of drivers Andy Dodd and Jason Osborne, Payload Specialist Chris Torbitt and coaches Dan Wells, Chris Ryan and Eric Nagy did an outstanding job throughout the two day competition.
