Clawson Robotics Team Takes 1st Place

Clawson/OSTC-SE Robotics Team

Takes First Place at Waterford Competition

The Clawson High School and Oakland Schools Technical Campus – Southeast Robotics Team took home the first place trophy in the recent Waterford Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association (OCCRA) Tournament. The tournament was held at Waterford Kettering High School on October 24.

This is a full contact robotics competition, where students control 120 pound robogladiators as they clash on the field of play. The robots try to score points by placing balls into goals while their opponents try to stop them.

OCCRA requires the entire robot be student-designed and built.

OCCRA generates enthusiasm for technical and academic disciplines such as design, engineering, physics, and electronics. The competitions provide recognition and encouragement for students who devote their energies to these areas of studies.
