Robotics donation

Van Wert Robotics Team received some much-needed support for the upcoming season. StateWide Ford graciously donated $500 towards the team. Coaches Bob Spath and Zane McElroy said they are very thankful for the support the community gave them last year during the World Championship run and hope to make another memorable run this season. “Last year was special and we hope to always make it make to that level of competition.” On January 17, 2015, Van Wert will host the Northwest Regional Robotics Competition in the high school gymnasium. More information will follow. Shown are (from the left) Steve Munroe,  StateWide general manager; Robotics Team member Nick White; StateWide owner Andy Czajkowski; and Robotics Team member Ryan Rice.
