The competition was held March 21 in Saskatoon and consisted of 230 students in 118 teams from 44 high schools across the province. Students from Île-à-la-Crosse were awarded every prize at the Robot Rumble with first-place winners being Mike Yole and Jeremy Corrigal, who won a $1,500 tuition credit to a Sask.

Meanwhile, Delaney Kenny and Erica Arcand took second place and Sayer McCallum was third.
“I think the results are fantastic,” Rossignol teacher Dave Dalton said. “Our kids worked really hard and they put a lot of effort in over the school year and it paid off for them, so it was really impressive.”
