COMMACK SCHOOLS

Lead technology teacher Thomas Shea is hosting a perfectly appropriate fight club at CHS this week.

On Thursday morning, Shea’s second-period Principles of Engineering students completed the final rounds of their double-elimination Judobot fights.

The students used their recently acquired knowledge of hydraulics to build robots that battled on tabletops.

An NCAA Tournament-style bracket was created. And students competed against each other in a double-elimination format — trying to move their Judobot’s appendages using hydraulics to knock over their opponents’ Judobots … or at least move them off the tabletop competition ring.

Next up: a Champions League-like competition among the top finishers in each of Shea’s Principles of Engineering classes.
