Some middle school team members also competed in the high school division. They were EJ McKinley, Jon Pickett and Alex Laney, pictured here with Joseph McKinley from Spain Park High School.
Two Berry Middle School Lego Robotics Teams returned to Hoover with trophies following a successful showing at the University of Alabama’s Robotics Competition in April. Berry Middle Team 1 placed first overall in the middle school division, and Berry Middle Team 2 placed second overall.
Berry’s teams faced teams from schools across the state. Students programmed their robots to complete challenges that weren’t revealed until that day. Once they knew the challenges, students had three hours to complete the tasks.
Berry Middle Team 1 was represented by Andrew Wilson, Austin Wilson, Shameem Akhter and Shehzan Maredia.
Berry Middle Team 2 was represented by Tanviz Devani, Marcus Mudano, William Baker, Michael Chen and Jack Hudson.
Other members who competed were Madison Oakman, Mary Virginia McKinley, Michael Chew and Hamilton Crews.
