  • More than 40 VEX Robotics Teams Ready to compete at Loveland High School on December 21

    More than 40 VEX Robotics Teams Ready to compete at Loveland High School on December 21

    Students in the VEX Robotics Program at Loveland High School started working on their current robots last summer and will continue to refine them throughout the 2019-20 competition season.

     

    Loveland, Ohio – It may be just a few days before Christmas, but teams from Loveland High School (LHS) and Loveland Middle School (LMS) will be competing with more than 40 other teams from across the region in the VEX Robotics Competition at LHS on December 21, officially kicking off their tournament season. The seven Loveland teams have been hard at work preparing for the 2019-2020 season.

    “This game has many challenging aspects, including robot design, programming, and game strategy,” said LHS Robotics Coordinator Amy Stewart.

    In the competition, teams of students will use their own designed and built robots to compete against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. This year’s VEX Robotics game, “Tower Takeover,” is played on a 12’x12’ square field with the object of attaining a higher score than the opposing alliance by placing cubes in towers or scoring cubes in goals.

    “This game has many challenging aspects, including robot design, programming, and game strategy,” said LHS Robotics Coordinator Amy Stewart.

    The matches on December 21 start at 9:45 AM and the event concludes with an awards ceremony around 4 PM.

    The competition is open to the public and free of charge.

    The competition tests the students’ knowledge of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) concepts, inspiring them to bring their best problem-solving skills to the table while simultaneously building on teamwork, leadership, and communication skills for life. Tournaments are held throughout the year at the regional, state and national levels, with an eye toward the VEX Robotics World Championship, which is held annually in April.

    The matches on December 21 start at 9:45 AM and the event concludes with an awards ceremony around 4 PM.

    The competition is open to the public and free of charge.

    (Note that both lanes between the Ibold and Price intersection to Cub World are open.)

    This is a rain or shine event.

    It’s so terribly hard to describe – that’s why we say, “Loveland Magazine is proud to present this LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV video highlight reel of the 2016 Race.

    You just have to SEE it to UNDERSTAND it.

    The Amazing Charity Race started in 2005 as Loveland’s Amazing Race and has grown into one of the biggest races in the whole Cincinnati tristate area!  With a a little bit of this and a little bit of that – we make you walk, run, ride, think and do – all for the fun of it!

    All of your entry fees go straight to all of our charities after we pay off our expenses for the race.  

    WHAT IS IT??: It is a full day of good natured competition, music and food and laughs. The race committee is laughing itself silly coming up with fun challenges. It is not a triathlon or a 5K race. It is not limited to runners or highly athletic individuals. It is a race in that it has a start and finish line but along the way it challenges the contestants in many ways. It is a fun, quirky, adventure that challenges the contestants agility, balance, coordination, strength, intelligence, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, and most important their sense of humor. You are invited whether it is to compete or join our team of over 500 volunteers so come enjoy, have a great time for a good cause and as always expect the unexpected. 

    This year’s race will feature more fun, less stress and an all new course!
