NerdHerd was subbed in for Newport robotics group (NRG #948) in a semifinal match. Hanson says they walked away with one of the best win loss records at this year’s District competition. The only other teams with a higher scoring record were Jack in the Bot and Bare metal at 11 wins, one loss for each of those teams.
