Two teams from Pike County participated in the BEST Robotics competition in Ozark on Saturday. The competition is designed to engage and excite students about engineering, science, and technology. The Troy Pike Center for Technology sent a team of approximately 20 students, including representatives from Goshen, Charles Henderson and Pike County High Schools. The TPCT team placed fourth overall. Pike Liberal Arts School sent its first team to the competition this year, and the team placed seventh overall. It was the only new team among the 15 competing teams.
