Curiosity received a ton of recognition from the judges, including 2nd Runner up for “Think” Award (for detailed documentation in their engineering notebook), 2nd runner up for “Innovate” Award (for a unique and well designed robot mechanism), 2nd Runner Up Control (for implementing electronic systems that help the driver or the robot during autonomous navigation), and a won the “Judges” award (for their project to create prosthetics for dogs)

Cosmos won 4 out of 5 matches and also received the 1st Runner Up for the “Promote” Award (for creating a compelling promotional video)

Asteria ended qualifying with the FIFTH highest offensive power ranking, a metric that measures point scoring ability. They actually had the highest ranking of any Marlborough team in this metric.
All four teams fought hard, kept a positive attitude, and did a fantastic job representing the school. We were extremely proud of the poise, passion, and support for one another that the Marlborough teams exhibited. Congratulations to the Marlborough robotics teams!
