Help the MVTHS Robotics Team represent New England

The Medford Vocational Technical High School Robotics Team (Sunk Robotics) is thrilled to announce that we again 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 Longmont, CO, from June 20st to June 24th. To allow all five team members to attend the competition, we need to raise an additional $8,000 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. Our team spent countless hours preparing for the New England Regional, including over 50 hours during spring break leading up to the competition. This year our team defeated such prestigious schools at Exeter Academy.

In addition, our regional scores this year were high enough to suggest a strong showing at Worlds! Please help us represent Medford and all of New England at the MATE World Championship and bring home a trophy!
