Mech Tech Dragons rumble at Deep Run HS competition

Robotics team 10-26

“With a new drive team and pit crew, the Mech Tech Dragons made an incredible statement at Rumble #11 at Deep Run High School this past weekend,” said team sponsor Mark Sailer. “The team finished qualifications as the #1 seed and went on to win the Event!”

Congratulations to our drivers, pit crew, and the entire team for an outstanding performance, teamwork, and dedication. A new team lineup, the same Dragon determination!

The team supported the Autism Society of Central Virginia’s Trunk or Treat on Sunday.   Shout-out to Priyanka Nyamtabad, Jonathan Cortez, and Ethan Xing for their support at Trunk or Treat on Sunday after a long day on Saturday.  And Mr Lehman, Ryan Kaplan (2019 alum), and Mrs. Kaplan for mentoring the event.
