Electricity/Electronics Students Earn 1st Place at Boe-Bot CompetitionHazy Wood, David Gebhardt, Shea Torkelson, Jaysen Sargent, Dalton Sweet and Kyler Abbott, high school Electricity/Electronics students, teamed up and attended the 3rd annual Boe-Bot Robot Competition at WTC in La Crosse on Friday, May 2. The Boe Bot team showed hard work and determination entering this competitive event that involved 10 other schools. Black River Falls High School was the underdog newcomer to the competition that was split into two events, a "Dead Reckoning" course and a "Maze" course. After failing to complete the Dead Reckoning course, the team knew they had to prove themselves in the second event. The team decided to create a replica of the maze on the floor out of masking tape so they didn't have to wait in line for practice runs, a strategy no other team thought of. This prepared the team for a great test run as they pulled through and earned first place in the "Maze" competition. They completed the maze in a swift 28 seconds followed by Sparta's team with 42 seconds. Congratulations to the Boe Bot Electronics team for bringing victory home to Black River Falls High School!
