Our Last Competition
Having learned from our last tournament, the team went into overdrive working on the robot to ensure it would work to its best ability. Multiple members worked overtime, from late in the evenings to early in the mornings. Additionally, we completely reworked our engineering portfolio and notebook, creating over 800 pages worth of information regarding the team and robot.
Continued Improvement
The team placed 7th in qualifiers, with Reed Graff as the coach and Luke Davis as the human driver. Luke strategically utilized the horizontal and vertical linear slides to rapidly score points and it was a massive improvement over last tournament.
Gracious Professionalism
Surprisingly, we were not chosen to join a semifinal alliance, however, we maintained a spirit of good sportsmanship and stayed until the closing ceremony and additionally, the entire team helped out to clean up along with the volunteers.
A Strong Presentation
In our last tournament, we were incredibly prepared to present our portfolio along with our judging presentation in our judging meeting. We were awarded 3rd place for the Design Award and were designated one of the best teams in judging.
