CHS Robotics Team Takes it to Another Level

The CHS Robotics Team competed recently against 128 teams from around the globe in the World Championships in St. Louis, MO. CHS won the quarterfinals and moved to the top 12 teams in the world, one of the top 5% of the initial group of 3,000 teams to make it to that level.

"This is an outstanding team that has done a lot to improve the image of CHS, to promote STEM within the district, and get kids throughout the district interested in Robotics," said coach Alan Tumolillo. "Although they lost in the semifinals, they did exceptionally well to get to that stage.

CHS was one of four New Jersey teams to move to the playoff rounds, which is the best record of any state in the country, said Tumolillo. 

During their season, CHS Varsity captured the Vermont State Championship and both the Varsity and JV teams shared the NJ State Championship – which has never happened to any high school in NJ. 

Members of this team helped design the new course in Robotics that will be taught next year.
