Four sixth-graders from Knowlton Township Elementary School, under the guidance of their teacher, Kim Reber, attended the Warren County Consortium for the Student Enrichment Robotics competition at The Brass Castle School in Washington.
The kids made a huge breakthrough while learning about technology.
"Spot" and "Disco Destroyer" were two amazing robots forged from the hands of the four students, using Lego bricks. Starting from scratch, the day of the event, they were able build the robot, program the robot, and claim victory.

Spot was programmed by Raina Maldonado and Tyler Dolinsky mathematically; Disco Destroyer was programmed by John Neeb and Jack Johnston to destroy everything in its path.

Disco Destroyer took on 10 robots in Sumo Robot wrestling. He successfully managed to dance away with a first place victory.
