A week before the All Saints Episcopal School's seventh grade robotics team was set to compete in the Texas Computer Education Association's regional competition, the team's members ran into some bad luck. The All Saints' seventh grade team won second place in the intermediate age division at the competition, which took place inside the Lumberton Performing Arts Center. The annual competition is broken into two different competitions: an invention contest and an arena contest, said Susie Brooks, the TCEA Area 5 director. For the invention contest, students must design a robot with a certain function, and research a business plan for that invention, like how much it will cost to build and how it will compete with other similar products on the market. Edwards-Johnson Memorial Silsbee Middle School won first place in the intermediate division for the inventions competition over five other schools.
