At a central New Jersey regional robotics and engineering competition held at East Brunswick High School, the Sparta Robotic Engineering teams performed well with three sub teams qualifying for the state championships to be held at Cherry Hill High School on March 4. The teams each won passage to the states by their combined performance in two areas: programming skills and driver-controlled skills. <\/p>\n
The Sparta team 5249A, led by Conor Smetana, is currently ranked fifth in the state. Other members of 5249A include Hailey Koerner, Luke Kurian and Lucie Wolfson. The Sparta team 5249C, led by Evan Marcino and Julia Lopez, ranked 11th in the state.

The Sparta team 5249E, led by Thiago Santos and Emmet Sedar, is ranked 17th in the state. Other members include Zach Herbert. Earlier in the season this team won both an Innovation award and a build award. <\/p>\n
Sparta was also recognized by receiving what is called an \"Amaze Award.\" <\/p>\n
The Sparta team of 5249D led by Jack Willamson and co-led by Sarah Ramos received this award. The Amaze award is presented to a team that has built a competition robot that clearly demonstrates overall quality and solid mechanical design, key attributes assessed for this award. Other members of 5249D are Erich Schwarzrock, Grace Masterson, Nicole Kwok, Soumya Duggirala. <\/p>\n
