This past Saturday the Versailles High School Drone team competed at the Trotwood-Madison Drone Competition. The Versailles students had an awesome day! Out of 28 teams, we finished 7th, 8th, and 9th. This success earned all three teams a spot in the final elimination tournament. Team 81834T, Patrick McGlinch, Luke Borchers, and Lance Keller, was a mere 4 points from making it to the finals. This team also won the Skills Competition! Between piloting and programming their drones, they were able to post the highest individual score out of all the teams at the competition.
