Pickerington High School Central Robotics at World Championship

Pickerington High School Central is celebrating a major milestone after its robotics teams, 6741A Anarchy and 6741R Redacted, earned high honors at the VEX Robotics World Championship in St. Louis, Missouri.

PHSC Robotics Team 6741A Anarchy, made up of team members Nayan Adhikari, Ezekiel Creeger, Parker Krauss, and Rylee McKinney, made school history by winning the prestigious Design Award—the highest judged honor within their division.

The world competition features 865 of the best teams from across the globe, divided into multiple divisions representing states and countries. Within each division, teams are evaluated through a rigorous judging process that includes interviews, robot performance in both skills challenges and head-to-head competition, detailed engineering notebooks, and innovative coding and design.

Earning the Design Award places Team 6741A among the best in the world for excellence in engineering design, documentation, and overall performance.

PHSC Robotics Team 6741R Redacted also performed impressively, earning a 9th seed in their Divisional Playoffs, placing them among the top 180 teams from out of 11,400+ teams around the world.  This is their second year in a row to make it into the World Divisional Playoffs.  Congrats to Owen Goates, Carson Paris, and Weston Kiner for delivering another solid performance and representing Pickerington well.

These achievements mark a significant accomplishment for the Robotics program and a proud moment for the Pickerington Local School District.
