Allendale FTC Team, HexaSonics, competing at their home competition.

Allendale is proud to host for the 3rd year the Annual Allendale FTC competition with this year's game: Velocity Vortex! 35 Michigan middle school teams travelled to Allendale Middle School on December 3rd to compete. FTC teams compete on alliance of 2 teams against each other in an effort to score as many points as possible in a 2 minute and 3 second game. This game included scoring small balls in elevated goals, and also the challenge of capping those goals with large exercise balls. For a brief description, watch the game animation: Velocity Vortex Game Animation.

The HexaSonics, we're unfortunately not chosen into elimination, but, won the PTC Design Award for excellence in Design, and also were first runner-ups for the Inspire award. Congratulations to teams:  10255, 6043, and 10037 for taking home the win at this year's competition! Also, congratulations to team 10255 the RoboDux, from Zeeland, MI for winning this year's inspire award!
