DEMING - The hum of machinery recently echoed through the halls of Deming High School as the Robotics team prepared for the highly anticipated New Mexico BEST regional hub competition. The air was charged with excitement as Abel Baca, Aidan Villescas, and Sarah Hernandez, the dynamic trio leading the team, eagerly readied themselves for the challenge that awaited.
The competition arena, a sprawling 24 feet by 24 feet field named the "SimBody," mimicked the intricacies of the human anatomy with various obstacles. The students' task was nothing short of extraordinary – to design a robot capable of performing three intricate surgeries: ablation, the removal of plaque from arteries, and the delicate insertion of a stent.
For 2 ½ months, the Deming High School Robotics team immersed themselves in the world of robotics, burning the midnight oil and overcoming challenges as they tirelessly honed their skills. The pressure was on, but so was their determination.
As the competition unfolded, Abel, Aidan, and Sarah showcased their expertise in the finals, maneuvering their robot through the simulated human body with precision and finesse. After four intense rounds, the trio emerged victorious, clinching the coveted First-place trophy.
Their success wasn't just a stroke of luck; it was a testament to the countless hours spent brainstorming, designing, and refining their robot. But what set them apart was their strategic approach to the surgeries. The ablation surgery required surgical precision, the plaque removal demanded meticulous attention, and the stent insertion called for a delicate touch – and they excelled in each aspect.
Congratulations echoed through the hallways of Deming High School, celebrating the success of the champion students who had transformed a mere robot into a surgical marvel. The Deming High School Robotics team had not only conquered the SimBody but had proven that with passion, perseverance, and teamwork, the possibilities in the world of robotics were limitless.
