Gahanna Robotics Squad

Gahanna Robotics Squad Welcome! We're a new, independent robotics club for high schoolers in Gahanna, Ohio.

Our members are Vex V5 veterans, bringing their middle school competition experience to lay the foundation for a Vex V5 high school robotics program.

Did you know that VEX Robotics is more than just building and coding? These high schoolers are developing so much more than that. The program is truly student-led and the most successful teams are well-rounded and have students with an interest in a variety of areas. I had the privilege of being a remote judge this year for the VEX Robotics Worlds competition across a variety of school levels and got to see impressive teams from across the world.

In addition to the engineering skills you'd expect, judged competitions evaluate the following areas:
1- Game Strategy
2- Creativity/Originality
3- Team and Project Management
4- Teamwork, Communication and Professionalism
5- Respect, Courtesy and Positivity

Wow, does that sound like someone that I'd like to hire!

Here is the judging rubric used.

What. A. Season. The Gahanna Robotics Squad might be small in team size, but they are large in determination.

Over this past weekend team Classy Chassis 43230A finished pool play ranked #7 with a record of 7-1 in the Nighthawk division of the Vex V5 State of Ohio Robotics Championship. They lost in the semifinals to the eventual state champion by only 10 points. They had technical issues throughout the weekend that they worked through and never gave up when those issues put them behind in a game. They made so many new friendships with teams from all over the state and will carry those relationships to next year when it comes time for alliance selections.

Thank you to everyone that supported Gahanna Robotics Squad and team Classy Chassis 4320A this past year. A big shoutout to the Zanesville Robotics team for giving us a much needed battery cable this past weekend. There are so many other teams that also gave advice and expertise during the season that we also appreciate.

As this year wraps up, Classy Chassis is already looking forward to next year and is looking to learn more. Connect with us through facebook if you are in Gahanna and are a high school student or rising freshman. We would love to discuss our club and what our plans are for the future.

Tomorrow our flagship team, Classy Chassis-43230A, is headed to the High School Vex V5 state tournament for Ohio. To do this as freshman is quite the accomplishment. To do this with a team of 2 is even more amazing. We are pulling for Classy Chassis, and we hope you take a few minutes to watch them on the live stream tomorrow. Come back to this page around noon tomorrow and we will have provided the link to watch Classy Chassis in action.

🏆 CHAMPIONS ALERT: Classy Chassis Takes the Skills Award! 🏆

Big news from the Gahanna Robotics Squad! Our very own Classy Chassis (43230A) officially took home the Skills Award this week in the Pickerington Robotics League and landed their second states qualifying win.. Over 4 league sessions, we couldn’t be prouder of their grit and growth. 🤖

The team decided it was time to "lock in," yet again, and that focus paid off in a huge way. They spent the last week working together to overhaul their skills strategy, and the results speak for themselves:
-Cameron Foster delivered a massive 83-point driver skills run!
-Miles Foster nailed a 27-point autonomous run!

Beyond the skills competition, the team had a powerhouse performance in match play. It’s been an incredible journey watching them iterate on their robot design and grow their teamwork - learning from every win, every loss, and every mechanical tweak along the way.

Up next: STATES in 2 weeks! 🚩

As we wrap up this season, we have big plans for growing the club. If you have a rising H.S. or H.S. Gahanna student interested in getting involved next school year, reach out and stay tuned for more information.

Thank you Pickerington Central Robotics for an incredible robotics league experience!

Boston Dynamics released a new video this week, and the opening really caught our attention. It shows kids getting their start in robotics — building, testing ideas, and learning the basics. If you look closely, they’re working with VEX kits, the same system our team uses.

It’s a good reminder that the big, advanced robots we see online all start with the same foundation: students learning how to think through problems, work with their hands, and stay patient when things don’t go as planned. That’s exactly what our team practices every day.

We’re proud of the work our team is doing and the skills they’re building for whatever comes next.
Here’s the video if you want to check it out:

We’re excited to announce the product version of our Atlas® robot. This enterprise-grade humanoid robot offers impressive strength and range of motion, preci...

🏆 Thanksgiving Rebuild Pays Off! Gahanna Robotics Team, 43230A, A Top Performer, Winning Judges Award at Highland Holiday Tournament! 🌟

What a day for the Gahanna Robotics Squad, Team Classy Chassis 43230A, at the TSM Plumbing Highland Holiday Blended Qualifier VEX Robotics competition! 🎉

They finished the qualification rounds UNDEFEATED at 6-0, showcasing an incredibly strong autonomous performance and game strategy! This placed them in 2nd place out of 54 teams!

They headed into the elimination matches with their fantastic alliance partner, Nerd Nation (3264X Xenon). They dominated the first two rounds, winning heartily, and gave it their all in the semi-finals, narrowly falling short in a true nail-biter finish!

They are absolutely thrilled to bring home the Judges Award, recognizing their high performance and strong level of competition. Their hard work over the holiday break clearly paid off. A visiting Head Ref even asked, "did you really build that?" Yes, they absolutely did!

This strong showing reaffirms the team's continued focus on their mission for State Qualification!

A huge thank you and shout-out to the Gahanna Middle School Robotics Competition Team! Classy Chassis appreciates the partnership, arena time, and the opportunity to participate alongside them at the tournament. Congratulations on your strong performance! They are proud to compete with their fellow Gahanna teams! 🦁

The judges clearly saw that Gahanna spirit. They awarded Classy Chassis 43230A the Inspire Award!

They highlighted the team's dedication and commitment to growing robotics awareness right here in the Gahanna community. That's what it's all about!

Thank you to our biggest fans for making the long trip to cheer us on!

Thank you for the partnership and arena time, Gahanna Middle School Robotics Competition Team!
