UPDATE: Robotics Teams Head for World Championship!

Robotics teams from all divisions - Brookside, Middle School and Upper School - have taken their respective State Championships by storm and are headed to the top!

Cranbrook's most recent champs are from Brookside, where four teams competed with the top 32 lower school teams across the state at the Michigan Elementary State Championship in Charlotte, MI on Saturday, March 3rd. Their performance at the competition landed three of the teams a place at the World Robotics Championship.

The 8th grade and upper school Robotics teams competed in the Michigan VEX Robotics State High School Championship this past weekend at Michigan State University. Their phenomenal showings at last week's Regional competitions gave eight upper school and two lower school teams the chance to compete in the State Championship, and each team put in their best efforts to compete against the top teams from across the state.

The teams' accomplishments and awards are listed below, but it should be noted that in addition to their impressive technical performances, CK Robotics received numerous compliments on their dignity and good sportsmanship during the tournament. Each student should be proud of how they represented Cranbrook, treating their opponents and other tournament participants with professionalism and respect.
