“The 2022 world championship was a wild ride for four days,” according to teacher/robotics club advisor Sean Riordan. “We were one of five rookie teams in the competition and we finished 46th out of 75 in our division.”

In addition, the team was awarded the “Gracious Professionalism” award. A great showing for the Pumpkin Bots and an immense achievement for a club that started from a Moss Beach garage and intended to participate in just one competition.
