MANCHESTER — The Kennett Coders (team 5106F) finished seventh overall in their debut at the NH-VT 2023 State Vex Robotics Championship at Manchester Community College in Manchester on Feb. 18. Forty teams competed for one of five spots to go to the world championships in Dallas April 24-29.

“Freshmen Aleks Lillis and Turner Viger form the core of the qualifying team,” said Coach Ron Sandstorm. “Two days before the state championships, Turner became ill and was unable to make it to the event. Junior Sebastian Brochu joined Aleks to add another set of eyes during the competition. He provided real-time suggestions for tactics during each match.”
