Not pictured: Tatum Carrlson and Clayton SuchoskiThis season for the Iron Chargers robotics team has been an uphill battle with COVID school closures, restrictions, and cancellations. Overall, our team members have done an excellent job pushing through unique challenges and testing their building and programming skills. Though practice time has come at a premium this season, our teams are still hopeful to be able to compete at a state qualifying event by the end of March. Currently, we are searching for a late-season tournament as the Minnesota State Robotics Tournament has been postponed until April 17th, 2021. The VEX Worlds Robotics Tournament will be held virtually this year and was also postponed until May 17th, 2021. In order to ensure the hard work and dedication of our robotics team does not go unnoticed by their peers and the community, we are also working on hosting a demonstration of the robots for Grygla School student body that would potentially be broadcast on the school’s Garden Valley TV channel. On a personal note from the team and coaches, we want to deeply thank our school, our parents, and our community for their continued support and flexibility during what can only be described as one of the most “unique” seasons the Iron Chargers robotics team has faced.
