Middle School Robotics Teams Learns From Failure, Wins State Competition

Middle School robotics team 663S (also known as Vegan Cheese) dominated the competition during the 23-24 season, ultimately winning the Tennessee State Championship and earning a spot at the VEX World Championship in Dallas, TX. However, their journey wasn't easy. During their 6th and 7th grade years, they struggled through conflict and disappointment. Even though they made it to the state championships last year, they lost in the final rounds of the tournament.

This year, team 663S regrouped, committed to learning from others, and figured out how to listen to each other and work together. They finally achieved their goal, but more importantly, they learned perseverance, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. Listen to their story about learning from failure and how robotics teaches students to work through disappointment and see beyond themselves.
