2021-2022 VRC Tipping Point Season
Since then, the program has been through games such as Nothing But Net, Starstruck, In the Zone, Turning Point, and Tower Takeover. Our program has had the honor of competing at the VEX Robotics World Championship for four seasons. In addition, the program has earned several different awards: Tournament and Skills Champions, Judges Award, Design Awards, Amaze Award, etc.
One of our overall best seasons was 2017-2018 during In the Zone. In that year alone, we received four Tournament Champion Awards, five Skills Champion Awards, and one Design Award. That season was the third time in a row that we won the New York State Championship. At this competition, we were awarded the Sportsmanship and Amaze Awards. During the 2018 VEX Robotics World Championship, we placed 90th globally for Skills.
Last year, in the 2019-2020 game, Tower Takeover, we earned two Tournament Champion Awards, two Excellence Awards, one Skills Champion Award, and an Amaze Award. Our season ended at the state semifinals with an overall record of 43 wins and 11 losses.
[Co.R.E.] is ready to get back in the game. This year, the team hopes to work hard and bring back the success of previous seasons, and wishes luck to other teams. We are ready for the challenge, Tipping Point!!
