CTC nabs second at robotics competition

By Megan Gildow | Friday, October 24, 2008, 09:59 AM

The Springfield-Clark Career Tech Center’s precision machining seniors took second place at their second-ever competition this week, Instructor Mike Whitmer said Friday morning.

In Thursday’s paper, I wrote about the school’s “bot” which they were taking to competition this week at the Dayton Tooling and Manufacturing Association’s Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Show.

The team went undefeated for five rounds and was preparing for the championship when a electrical part broke, said Whitmer.
