Students in the ASPIRE robotics program joined forces with students in the Buddy Club with the ultimate goal of testing paper airplanes for this season's robotics challenge. After a quick overview of the playing field and demonstration of the practice robot, students got to work making their own personal airplane designs. The designs were tested on the playing field to help the ASPIRE team analyze what airplanes would work best. It was great seeing these two groups of students come together for a common goal. Go Bobcats!
