Calabar roars in robotics

[Jangle]

The lions of Calabar High School hunted glory and took home the FIRST Tech Challenge Jamaica National Robotics Championship top award last Saturday, two steps up from their placement last year.

The eight-member team competed against 30 schools in the second staging of the championship, which was held at Jamaica College.

Calabar will soon gear up again to represent Jamaica at the World Championships in Houston, Texas, next month.

Team captain Joel Tulloch described the school’s robotics club, which was formed in September 2016, as progressive.

Tulloch said the award was significant to both club and school.

“It is a step further into STEM and a step further into academics. The members of the club are ecstatic about it. It’s a great accomplishment. We’ve all been working late hours and long nights just to reach here, and with God, it was made possible,” he said.

Congrats to Cbar on a significant achievement.

As far as the article goes it's very poor, misguided, lacking in perspective and clearly written by a Cbar partisan. There is so much more that transpired at the Jamaica National Robotics Champs than Cbar winning a top award.

The article is a disservice to the 29 other schools participating and their many other achievements.

The article in short...was written by a Dummy. Anyway I'm glad to have provided the opportunity for Cbar in this venture...and even for enabling the Dummy to write his stuff
