Congratulations to Vassar H.S Robotics team members Nick Tallman and Ashley Shindorf in winning the Regional REC Aerial Drone Championship today and the Inspire Award!
Members of drone teams from across the US competed in two days of competition at Kettering University. Nick and Ashley finished by winning the first 2 matches in a best 2 out of 3 final.
You may remember that last year, this pair won the world championship at the REC finals in Dallas, Texas. This year, the foundation decided not to hold a Drone World Championship but rather 4 regional competitions. We are incredibly proud of Mr. Tallman and his robotic students.
