PES robotics team places at competition

Special to Pelahatchie News


Recently, the PES Chiefs Robotics Team put their STEM skills to the test at the Mississippi Robotics STEM Competition hosted at NISSAN. Students competed in seven different events on different topics related to STEM and workforce development skills. The PES students represented the school well and also placed in multiple events. 

In the Sumo Robotics Competition we had two teams tie for 3rd place: Colton Roby and Mason Holmes & Levi Pope and Xzavier Lee

In the 3rd - 5th grade individual events (out of all students in these grade levels):

  • Colton Roby - 3rd place in small engine parts identification
  • Levi Pope - 2nd place on the science test
  • Addie Harrell - 3rd place on the science test and 2nd place on trim triangle (an event created by NISSAN)
  • Josey Keeton - 1st place on the math test
  • Jerry McDaniel - 2nd place on the math test

In the 6th - 8th grade individual events:

  • Ava Keeton - 1st place trim triangle
  • Riley Jordan - 2nd place trim triangle

PES students showed great spirit, teamwork, and camaraderie during the entire event. We are proud of what they accomplished! We are also thankful for the sponsors and parents who support these students and help them build a passion for robotics.
