Daniel Murtagh and Chase Thomas of South
Boston, seniors at Boston College High School, and two of the 39 members
of BC High’s Robotics team, Schrödinger’s Cat, had an
excellent season-opening competition at the Granite State District Event in New
Hampshire on March 1-2.
Under the leadership of Team Captain Chase Thomas ’19 and Drive Coach
Jack Duggan ’19, their robot was driven (literally) to huge success
by the drive team of Praveen Kalva ’21 and Avery Jennings ’21, and
“human players” Colman Gillis ’19, Jason Murray ’19, Rohan Joshi ’20,
Charlie Jacobson ’21.
After 12 qualifying matches, Schrodinger’s Cat ranked #9 out of
the 36 competing teams and advanced to afternoon playoffs as
the Captain of the #6 Alliance team. The team is
currently ranked 16th overall in the New England District. The
team will compete next at the North Shore District Event held at
Reading High School on March 16-17.
