tribute to those who, by achieving outstanding success in their
educational endeavors and competitions, have inspired and brought pride
to our majestic Empire State; and
WHEREAS, It is also the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
the dedication and commitment of our young people who distinguish

Lake George High School VEX Robotics Team competed against the top 51
teams in the State of New York; and
WHEREAS, This year's game, "Tipping Point," required pairs of teams
to enter a 12 by 12 arena in co-op alliances; robots on both teams then
collected rings in scoring zones, moving goals and using elevated
platforms to win; furthermore, robots had to make it through both
autonomous and student-piloted periods; and
WHEREAS, In a close final round, the Lake George High School VEX
Robotics Team's Robot 64040C delivered the final blow in the last match,
winning these outstanding students a ticket to the VEX World
Championship in Dallas, Texas; and
WHEREAS, Additionally, Robot 64040A, won the coveted Design Award,
earning two Lake George systems the opportunity to compete with robots
across the world; and
WHEREAS, With this monumental win, the Lake George High School VEX
Robotics Team takes home its third straight New York State Championship
and its second Design Award honor; and
WHEREAS, Robotics classes teach students various skills such as
critical thinking, collaboration, communication, leadership and
ownership, all of which have led the Lake George Robotics Program to a
high level of success; and
WHEREAS, Coach Larry Stroebel has done a superb job in guiding,
molding and inspiring the team members toward their goals; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Lake George High School VEX Robotics
Team are loyally and enthusiastically supported by their school, family,
friends and the community at large; and
WHEREAS, Poised eagerly with enthusiasm and determined purpose,
these students now stand honorably, with just pride in their
accomplishments and in eager anticipation of future challenges,
understanding and appreciating the caring counsel and support provided
by their teachers, coaches and parents; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate the Lake George High School VEX Robotics Team upon the
occasion of capturing the New York State Robotics Championship on March
12, 2022; and be it further
