GEAR member: Zachary Gracon

VIDEO LINK There were 38 robots entered in Elementary, Middle School and High School Divisions. The high school maze contained 100 cells while the Elementary/ Middle School maze contained 50 cells. The first 50 cells of the high school maze had the same pattern as the elementary/middle school maze. There were no high school entries that made it through the first 50 cells. Therefore, Zachary's robot outperformed the other 37 robots in the contest. Congratulations Zachary!
