CONWAY — For the sixth time in seven years, the Kennett High Coders have qualified for the Vex Robotic World Championships. The Kennett Coders team 5106C, Chani Mores (Junior) and Kate Keefe (Junior), won the Design Award for the best design for a competition robot at the VEX Robotics NH/VT State Championships on Saturday, and the award earned the dynamic duo an invitation to the 2019 Vex Robotics World Championship from April 24-27.
It marks the second year in a row that Keefe and Mores have punched their tickets to Louisville, Ky., site of the world championships. Last year, as sophomores, they were awarded the “Think Award” for programming excellence.
