Robotics squads from Vacaville and Vanden high schools on Saturday reached the upper echelons of the world robotics championships as the Davis High School team took top honors under the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

Vacaville’s Phil Jenschke, adviser to the RoboDogs, said the team reached the 33rd spot in their 75-team division, the Carson, but their scores prompted higher-ranked teams to select them for the fourth-seed alliance. They managed to reach the semifinals, placing them among the upper ranks of the 600 teams, national and international, that flocked to the domed stadium for several days of what organizers call “varsity sports for the mind.”
