CONWAY — After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the Kennett High Coders robotics team is back competing and one of its teams has its sights set on qualifying for the 2023 Vex Robotics World Championships.

“We are starting to rebuild the program,” said Ron Sanstrom, a mentor for the KHS Coders. “Dan Mack (coach and computer science teacher at Kennett High) has been keeping the program going but is still learning about VEX Robotics and doing a good job.”
