(Huntington, NY) Councilwoman Susan A. Berland was on hand to present an official proclamation from the Town of Huntington to The ThunderColts, a robotics team from the Half Hollow Hills Central School District, who recently won the Xerox Engineering Design “Creativity Award” at the Virginia FIRST Robotics Competition.
The ThunderColts participated in a contest, titled “Ultimate Ascent” which included 65 teams that built robots able to climb up a three-tier tower and shoot disks into a target. The ThunderColts are comprised of students from both Half Hollow Hills East and Half Hollow Hills West high schools. Their robot was the only one to successfully climb a three–tier tower to the amazement of competitors from Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, South Carolina and New York.
