They came, they saw, they impressed the judges.

The Coupeville Middle School robotics club spent Saturday at Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, competing in the First Lego League Qualifier.

Led by coaches Alison Perera and Doug McVey, the Wolves had two teams competing — the Robotic Wolves and Technical Duties.

CMS left school at the crack o’ dawn (or 6:00 AM) and pulled back into Cow Town about 14 hours later.

“It’s been a long day,” Perera said. “Super proud of the kids for persevering through a long day!”

Coupeville finished 8th and 9th out of a field of 31 teams.

While CMS didn’t advance to the semifinals this year, it was still a strong run for the talented students.

“It was a tough field with some great innovative projects and cool robot designs,” Perera said. “It was a great day after a great season!”

Students did a presentation in the morning, then played the robot game in the afternoon, with both CMS teams notching higher scores than they did in previous practices.

Best in the biz.

Coupeville High School seniors Nick Dion and Mitchell Carroll beat competitors from 21 other schools Saturday to claim a title in Robot Arm at the Science Olympiad state championships.

The duo also finished fourth in Electric Vehicle, while teammates Josh Robinson and Luke Carlson claimed third place in Write It, Do It.

Sparked by their three top-five finishes, the Wolves finished 18th as a team, one spot better than they did in 2015, their last trip to state.

Camas won the team title.

Nationals are in Dayton, Ohio in May, but the season is done for Coupeville, as only the top teams, and not individual winners, advance to the big dance.
