| + | == Technomage League - Gateway == | ||
| + | On November 12 the second meeting of the Technomage League Play was held at Delaware County Christian School. The DCKnights team hosted 6 different workshops and 17 teams playing three seperate rounds of Gateway. Even though its early in the season there were some pretty amazing robots competing. There were teams from New Jersey (2 hour drive) and York PA (1 hour 45 minutes). | ||

| + | == College team KTOR has two Mentor's of the Year == | ||
| + | At the 2011 World Championship at Disney World, Andrew Adaman and Chuck Glick were named the 2011 VEX Mentor's of the year. KTOR is supported by STEMRobotics and KTOR is our "go-to" team for judging. Andrew put together an amazing group of judges that did all of our 2010-11 events. For this reason we had very even and very reproducible results. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Chuck did the same with the referees. He put together a crack team of refs that were able to keep up with the fast pace of Round Up. And again all the matches in the PA region had the same level of refereeing. This allowed teams that played multiple events hone their driving skills knowing that a top notch referee team would keep the playing field level. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Both Andrew and Chuck also spent time as mentors for the 15 Downingtown teams, the 3 Haverford robots and the Royal Assault Robots. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Our congratulations to them for receiving the highest adult award at Worlds. | ||
