PEPPER PIKE, Ohio – The Orange High School Robotics Team 1787, The Flying Circuits, captured its third consecutive blue banner as it won the annual Curiosity Open Saturday (Sept. 30) at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland.

The team was ranked No. 1 heading into the playoffs and chose two other teams to form an alliance: Team 695 (Bison Robotics) from Beachwood and Team 3504 (The Girls of Steel) from Pittsburgh.

“Overall, I am most proud of the efforts of the team as a whole,” said team adviser Ryan McMonigle in a news release.

“At an event like this, there is always some level of adversity that every team has to face. Things break, and mistakes happen along the way.

“The team did an amazing job addressing each mishap as they came, and found clever solutions to each and every problem,” he continued. “They worked as a team and definitely earned the blue banner as a team.”

Co-adviser Jon Rice and volunteer Simon Wieder, 2016 Orange High School graduate, also work with the OHS team.

As two-time defending champion, the team was excited for the opportunity to not only defend its title, but also to introduce several new members to the competition atmosphere, the news release stated.

The Flying Circuits had 26 students at the event, including several new members.

The 26 OHS students at the Curiosity Open were Moriah Altman, Jack Arch, Eden Austin, Ahmet Baglam, Charlotte Bolton, treasurer Anjali Chepyala, Kallin Ford, Tyler Heasley, Logan Kaplan, Andras Karman, Gemma Klisovic, Giada Klisovic, Jaden Levinson, Max Levinson, secretary Ben Lilly, Charlie Loebl, Rafi Mendlowitz, Seth Miller, Piper Newman, Matthew Powell, president Charlie Rubsamen, Dominic Shotwell, Amara Udeh, Rahul Vijayendran, vice president Ben Wei and Elliot Wright.
