The Tennessee Technology Center at McKenzie hosted the sixth annual Robot Wars on Friday February 19 at the center on Highland Drive.
Students from the Bio-Medical Technology and Green Electronics classes competed against students from the Technology Center at Newbern. The competition was judged by longtime electronics instructor Tom Lewis.
The contest involved two events- the first was the line follower speed event for the robots to follow around and oblong track. The robots were judged on time and accuracy. The second event was the Sumo Robot competition. This was a round robin style format where the robots tried to push their opponent off the oval track.
In the line follower category, Cody McGowan of TTC Newbern won first in total time and also Smallest design; Clint Fesmire (Green Technology) won Biggest design, Steve Crawford (Green Technology) won Best Design; Robert Forbus (Green Technology) won Most Creative with his Cadillac tractor design.
