From the Portland Sun:
The Battle of the Bots was held at Portland East Middle School (PEMS) on Nov. 13.
The competition was part of the VEX IQ Challenge. Students build robots from VEX IQ kits and compete with other teams to earn points to advance to higher levels of competition. This year nine schools competed involving around 100 students.
Schools can also order parts and build their own robots rather than using kits. PEMS uses parts to build their robots. The school has nine teams with 23 participants.
