In 'bot pursuit

Student Wildcats of Robotic Design hosted its Fall Robot Competition on Nov. 18, attracting dozens of battlin' 'bots to Penn College's Field House.

"The SWORD event went well," said club President Preston J. Evey, an engineering design technology student from Lamar (and a 2022 graduate in engineering CAD technology). "We had a great turnout, with a little over 30 competitors – the majority of them being from outside the school."

Top finishers in the 1-pound antweight class:
