Marion Die & Fixture Sponsors Robotics Team

Marion Die & Fixture, Moundridge, KS, a division of The Bradbury Group, recently sponsored the MCHomes Homeschool CO-OP Robotics team in its inaugural season, competing in the Kansas BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Robotics Competition.

MCHomes Mechanics focused on building a functional and competitive robot. Over an 8-wk. period, the team worked to engineer, program and build the robot; prepare an engineering notebook; and practice driving a strategy.

Battling with 17 teams from across Kansas, MCHomes competed through 26 seeding rounds, semifinals and four final rounds to ultimately finish third in the Performance category. It was quite the accomplishment for a first-year team whose motto throughout the season was, “Let’s not finish last.”
