FRYEBURG, Maine — Fryeburg Academy is excited to announce that its newly formed robotics team is headed to the state championship after winning first place at the Southern Maine Vex Robotics League finals at Cape Elizabeth High School on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

The team originally formed as a club last year after an overwhelming interest by students. With the support of grants and the administration, the club quickly raised the necessary funds to purchase the robotics kits necessary to build and compete in the league.
