The ice may have been covered at SUNY Broome’s Ice Center this past Tuesday, April 21, but the competition was heating up as the Owego Apalachin Central School District (OA) robotics team secured its fifth consecutive overall championship at the 15th annual BT BOCES Regional Robotics Competition.

The victory marks a half-decade of dominance for the OA program, which navigated a field of approximately 120 students representing eight area school districts and various BOCES programs.

The day-long event featured eight unique challenges designed to push the limits of student-built machines. From autonomous programming to high-pressure remote-control operation, the challenges included:
Large and Small "Swept Away"
King of the Ring Bot (Mega and Mini)
Forklift Challenge
Autonomous Task and Line-Following Challenges
Maze Programming

To succeed, robots had to utilize advanced color, light, and distance sensors, while students had to demonstrate seamless communication and quick problem-solving under the clock.

The River Hawks team consisted of 29 students from grades 7 through 12. This age range proved to be a strategic advantage, as veteran competitors with five years of experience stepped into mentoring roles for first-year participants.

"The seasoned students played a key role in mentoring younger teammates and helping guide them through the engineering process," school officials noted, highlighting a culture of peer-to-peer leadership that has fueled their multi-year winning streak.

Since December, students have been designing, building, and refining custom robots specifically tailored to their chosen events. That preparation translated into a near-sweep on Tuesday. Owego Apalachin captured first place in five of the eight individual challenges and saw multiple teams place in the top three in nearly every event.

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes & Empowering Our Students 🇺🇸

It’s a proud day in Owego as the Hometown Hero banners begin to line our streets!
This isn't just a tribute; it’s a powerful community collaboration. Under the leadership of OFA Technology Teacher Sean Carney, students at HAWKEYE Graphics have been working tirelessly to design and produce these beautiful banners.

Through a fantastic partnership with Tioga United Way, our students are gaining invaluable, real-world job experience. From design to finished product, they are learning what it takes to deliver professional quality for a meaningful cause.

To the men and women featured on these banners, and to all who have served, we owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

Next time you’re driving through town, take a moment to look up and appreciate the faces of our heroes and the hard work of our talented students!
