American School for the Deaf’s Robotics Team competes in FIRST Tech Challenge

The American School for the Deaf's Robotics team recently competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge Championship "Battle at the Beach" held at Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT.
There were 28 teams of up to ten students in the challenge, responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots.
This year's competition had opponents programming their robot to play Tic Tac Toe on a vertical field in a game they called "Ring It Up!"

Governor Dannel Malloy attended the competition and offered ASD his support.  The team won the Judge's Award for safety and finished 13th in the competition.
