MVTHS Robotics Team

The Medford Vocational Technical High School Robotics Team (Sunk Robotics) is thrilled to announce that we took first place in the New England Regional MATE ROV Competition! As the top team from New England, we have qualified for the MATE World Championship in Long Beach, CA, from June 21st to June 25th. To allow all nine team members to attend the competition, we need to raise an additional $15,000 to cover registration, travel, lodging, food, shipping, and competition materials.

 

The MATE ROV Competition challenges students worldwide to engineer underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) to complete a set of mission tasks based on real-world, undersea workplace scenarios. We spent countless hours preparing for the New England Regional, including over 50 hours during spring break and late into the evening in the weeks leading up to the competition. Our team competed against schools with over 18 years of experience. Not only did we achieve this win in our rookie year, but we did it largely as freshmen and sophomores.

 

Please help us represent Medford and all of New England at the MATE World Championship.

Please note: as a parent of one of the team members, Jarrod Kallberg will be managing the funds
