Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School, sometimes shortened to Bay Path High School, is a secondary school based in Charlton, Massachusetts whose robotics team entered numerous robots into BattleBots IQ events.
Mentored by Tate Ostiguy, they were best known for their ODD- lineage of robots, which included ODDNOTT, ODDENNDS and ODDQUADD. The team won the Outstanding Sportsmanship Award for the 2004 BattleBots IQ event, and picked up both first and second place during the 2010 competition, which were their first podium finishes according to a May 2010 article.[1] Several members of the robotics team banded to form the predominantly female team behind Black Widow for the 2006 event.[2]
