Ravenna qualified three teams to compete at the State Robotics tournament held on Friday, February 27, and Saturday, February 28 at Omaha North High School. Forty-eight teams from all class sizes of schools across the state of Nebraska won the opportunity to compete at this level. The other high schools that had teams represented at the event were the following: Brownell-Talbot, Omaha North, Gross Catholic, Elkhorn South, Skutt Catholic, Millard North, Cross County, Grand Island Senior High, NRAI, Westview High School, Valley, Centura, Elkhorn North, Buena Vista, O’Neill, Pierce, Concordia, and Wahoo.

The first day of the competition consisted of inspection, team interviews, and driver and programming skills. Team 5V (Rob Gentrup and Arnie Kyhn) ranked 40th in skills with a driver score of 38 and a programming score of 0, totaling 38 points. Team 5W (Kash Lutz, Carson Maulsby, and Weston Schirmer) ranked 34th in skills with a driver score of 27 and a programming score of 19, totaling 46 points. Team 5Y (Hayden Bock, Daymion Cacy, Bryce Rasmussen & Wyatt Wroblewski) drove a 53 and programmed a 21 for a total of 65, ranking 24th overall.

On day two of the state robotics tournament, each team competed in 8 qualifying matches for top rankings to go on to the final rounds of competition. Team 5V (Kyhn & Gentrup) finished 39th with a record of 3-5. Team 5W (Lutz, Maulsby & Schirmer) finished 24th with a record of 4-4. Team 5Y (Bock, Cacy, Rasmussen & Wroblewski) finished the preliminary matches ranked 13th overall with a record of 5-3.

All three of the Ravenna teams made it to the final rounds of the state robotics competition. 5Y chose a team from Pierce to be their alliance partner to finish up their robotics season at state. The first round of finals was tough against two alliances from Concordia and Millard North. They lost with a score of 31 to 63. Team 5W chose 5V to go into the finals. This alliance went against teams from NRAI and Wahoo. Ravenna’s alliance lost in this finals round witha score of 25 to 104. This year, Ravenna will not be sending a team to the World Robotics Competition in Texas; however, all four teams should be very proud of how well they individually designed, built, programmed, drove, and competed this year. We are very fortunate at Ravenna to have the support in which all of the student body has the opportunity to be involved in robotics. Proud of all the Ravenna Robotics accomplishments this competitive season!

Special thank you to Melissa Malmstrom for driving, helping with so much and taking pictures at state robotics this year! We appreciate your support!

On Saturday, February 14th, Ravenna attended a 41-team robotics meet at Grand Island Senior High School. Three teams competed at this meet: Taitem Barnes and Kobe Chamberlin (5A), Kash Lutz and Carson Maulsby (5W), Hayden Bock and Daymion Cacy (5Y).

In skills, team 5A drove an 8 and programmed a 15 for a ranking of 24. Team 5W drove a 45 and programmed a 24 for a ranking of 10. Team 5Y drove a 48 and programmed a 29 for an 8th-place score.

Each team competed in 6 qualifying matches for top rankings to go on to the final rounds of competition. Team 5A finished qualification matches with a 2-4 record and a 29th ranking overall. Team 5W finished with a 2-4 record, ranking them 26th. Team 5Y finished in 6th place with a record of 5-1.

Team 5A won the opportunity to compete at finals and chose an alliance partner from Omaha North, but lost in the first round of finals to teams from Cross County and Wahoo. Team 5Y teamed up with 5W in the final rounds of competition. This alliance won their first round of finals over the alliances from Grand Island Northwest and Centura. Team 5Y and 5W continued onto quarterfinals and lost to an alliance from Kearney Catholic and Wahoo.

This is the last regular season robotic tournament, and Ravenna looks forward to the State Robotic tournament, which will be held February 27-28 at Omaha North High School. There are three Ravenna teams that have qualified and will be competing at State Robotics. These state qualifying teams are the following: Team 5V - Rob Gentrup and Arnie Kyhn; Team 5W - Kash Lutz, Carson Maulsby, and Weston Schirmer; Team 5Y - Hayden Bock, Daymion Cacy, Bryce Rasmussen, and Wyatt Wroblewski. Good luck at State Robotics!

On Saturday, January 24, Ravenna hit the road for the O’Neill robotics meet, where the two teams competed against 39 robotic teams. Team 5V, Arnie Kyhn and Rob Gentrup, and Team 5W, Kash Lutz and Carson Maulsby, competed in 6 qualifying matches throughout the day.

Each team had the opportunity to compete in the skills competition, where it was just their robot in the arena, trying to score the most points in driver skills or programming skills in one minute. Team 5W (Kash) drove a 30 and ran a 0 for programming skills, which gave them a rank of 20th overall. Team 5V drove (Arnie) a 36, and Rob Gentrup programmed a 15, giving the team a 15th ranking.

Each team competed in 6 qualifying matches for top rankings to go on to the final rounds of competition. Kash and Carson (5W) finished the day 2-4 with a 31st rank. Gentrup and Kyhn ended prelims with a rank of 29 with a record of 2-4.

Ravenna’s robotic team, 5V (Gentrup and Kyhn) were chosen by a team from O’Neil to compete in the final rounds of the tournament. This alliance lost in the first round of finals to the second-ranked alliance of the day.

All six of Ravenna Robotics teams will travel on January 31st to Omaha Gross High School to compete at the next robotics meet.

On Saturday, November 8th, the Ravenna robotics team headed to Omaha Central High School to compete in a 46-team tournament. This was the second tournament of the year for Ravenna Robotics, and we took five teams to compete.

In the skills competition, Team 5R (Riley Behrendt & Jackson May) was ranked 30th with a driving score of 5 and no programming score. Team 5V (Rob Gentrup & Arnie Kyhn) finished 17th with a drive of 24 and a no-programming score. Team 5A (Taitem Barnes & Kobe Chamberlin) drove a 21 and programmed an 18 for a total score of 39, ranking this team 14th overall. Team 5W (Kash Lutz, Carson Maulsby & Weston Schirmer) finished with a skills ranking of 9th overall with a drive of 33 and a programming score of 20, totaling 53 points overall. Team 5Y (Hayden Bock, Daymion Cacy, Bryce Rasmussen & Wyatt Wroblewski) finished with Ravenna’s highest team rating with a driving score of 47 and a programming score of 7, totaling 54 points.

Each team competed in 6 qualifying matches to earn a spot in the final rounds of competition. Gentrup & Kyhn (5V) finished 3-3. Barnes & Chamberlain (5A) ended the day with a 4-2 record. Lutz, Maulsby & Schirmer (5W) first competitors to finish the day with one loss, 5-1. Bock, Cacy, Rasmussen & Wroblewski (5Y) ended the day with a record of 5-1. First-time competitors, Behrendt & May (5R), went undefeated on the day and earned a second-place ranking in the preliminaries. All 5 of the Ravenna robotic teams qualified for the final rounds of this competition.

Team 5Y chose 5V to go into the final rounds of competition. This alliance won the first round against Ravenna’s alliance 5W and 5A with a score of 84-31. Team 5R chose a team from Omaha Gross Catholic and won the first round of finals 56-21. Onto the Quarterfinal rounds of competition, alliances 5Y and 5V lost to a team from Brownell-Talbot and Millard North 80-31. Team 5R’s alliance won their quarterfinals match against two teams from Omaha Central, 54-36. Behrendt and May (Team 5R) were on their way to the semi-final rounds of competition at their very first competition. Ravenna’s Team 5R was not able to pull off a win in this round of competition; however, it was an exciting day of competition for all five of Ravenna's teams. Looking forward to January to watch how the Ravenna robotics teams change their builds and programs to fight for a spot at the state competition in February.
