The DeKalb West School Junior Beta Club competed in the Robotics competition at the National Junior Beta Club Convention in Oklahoma last week.

The 8-person team of Isaac Brown, Bralin Moss, Alex Antoniak, Brayden Carter, Xavier Parker, John Ellis, Aniston Farler, and Matt Nokes won second place at the Tennessee Junior Beta Convention in November. Beta member Aly Griffith helped with preparations at the state competition but wasn’t a member of the team. So, she was an obvious choice to step in for John Ellis who couldn’t be a part of the team at nationals.

“Their robot did exactly what they wanted it to do,” says DWS Jr. Beta Club Lead Sponsor Jessica Antoniak. “There were around 40 teams competing. They didn’t place, but I think theirs was as good most. They had fun, and it was a neat experience.”
