CHS Robotics hosts a competition featuring 29 teams on Saturday when it welcomes schools from throughout Western New York and beyond for the Canisius 2025 VEX V5 High Stakes Qualifying Tournament.
About 30 teams from Erie, Niagara, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Allegany and Madison counties will be competing to earn a spot in the state competition in March.
The Crusaders have been working on their machines all year and were busy tweaking and analyzing them this week in preparation for the strategic contests, in which four robotics take to the arena at the same time, vying to earn the most points via various challenges.
All are welcome to attend the event, which will be held in the unique setting of historic Scaccia Auditorium.
Competition takes place all day long Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The CHS Robotics Club is moderated by teachers Mrs. Emily Friol and Mrs. Karen Nicosia.
Last year, Vincent Misterkiewicz ’24 and Matthew Carver ’26 recorded the highest-ever finish for a Canisius VEX Robotics team when they took second at the Rochester Institute of Technology Over/Under Competition.
Students and families interested in the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius – ranked as the Buffalo area’s best Catholic school by Business First – can learn more by arranging an on-campus experience via canisiushigh.org/visit
This place is special. Let us show you why.
