They didn't win, but they represented Ransom Everglades well. For the second straight season, ABC's Battlebots featured RE alums, RE parents and one student. Team Hypershock, which included Will Bales '11, Tyler Bond '11 and Alex Mattaway '11, lasted the longest in the elimination tournament, making it to the round of 16.
Team Mohawk, which included Greg Bales '17, Alan Schimmel '09, Tom and Max Bales, Connie Ryan, Korey Kline and Christian Chiriboga, defeated two other robots in its first match before being eliminated. RE robotics instructor Bob DuBard had worked with all of the RE participants. The shows aired on Thursdays throughout the summer.
