The VEX Robotics team traveled to Troy Buchanan High School Jan. 26 for the Troy Winter Classic tournament consisting of 48 teams across Missouri high schools. Schools can send up to six teams to compete. Three out of four of the VEX Robotics teams competed in this event, and Team “Gheese,” led by Rex Zhu (11) and Ben Reiser (11), placed third and qualified for the state tournament. “I’m very excited,” team leader Reiser said. “This year’s game has a huge hang structure in the center that not really anyone has gone for. Almost all the matches are 40 or 50 points higher because of how the scoring works differently.”
