Suffern Robotics Team Excels

Posted on 05 December 2013 by Editor

The Suffern High School Robotics continue to compete at a high level in area competitions. And the team is looking for some volunteer help for a January competition.

Robotics advisor and Suffern High School math teacher George Mugno is looking for judges and referees for a January event, hosted by the team at Suffern — no prior or technical experience is necessary. Interested? Email Mr. Mugno at gmugno@ramapocentral.org.

Suffern Robotics was a formidable presence at the FIRST Tech Challenge Fall Harvest Qualifier in Marlton, NJ in November.

With four teams entered, Suffern was nominated for four of six total judged awards—and won three: Think! Award (Team 7450), Innovate Award (Team 7486) and Control Award (Team 7488). Team 7488 was also a nominee for the PTC Design Award.
