Robotics Competition

State Rep. Tami Zawistowski got a first-hand look at what she describes as “the leaders of tomorrow� as high school students competed in a Feb. 14 robotics competition that attracted teams from five other states. To her right is Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman. The 15th annual scrimmage was hosted at Suffield High School by Aces High, a team comprised of Suffield and Windsor Locks students. The teens played a game called Recycle Rush, which required them to use their robots to stack totes on scoring platforms. The Aces High program is currently in its 20th season. The team won the national championship in 1999 and is supported by Windsor Locks-based Hamilton Sundstrand. “It’s critical to the future of our state and nation that we get children more interested in technology-related education, and I’m proud to represent a district that has a leading program that provides students with hands-on opportunity,� said Zawistowski.
