Robotics Takes Second Place
The Eaglebrook Robotics Team claimed the second place finish in the Deerfield Academy Robotics Competition on Sunday May 7 to close out the 2016-2017 season on a high note.
After two fairly solid rounds of play in the preliminaries of the Battlebot Event that earned the Brookies a second-seed berth in the elimination round, the third-seeded Sophomores of Deerfield Academy were the only obstacle standing between the Brookies and a meeting against the top-seeded Big Green of Deerfield Academy in the title match. Eaglebrook would cruise past the Sophomores in grand fashion to storm into the finals and actually held a lead through the first minute of play before falling short against the Deerfield Academy seniors by a slim four-point margin to settle for the second-place finish.
"I am extremely proud of our players for the hard work that they have put in over the course of the year, not to mention having to learn a brand new Tetrix platform in less than a month to get ready for the competition," skipper Paul Huang said after the match.
The Robotics Team will sorely miss the leadership of six-formers Junbo Yu ’17, Yoshi Yamao ’17, and Andrew Wu ’17 who will move onto secondary schools this coming fall.
