Summary
Our week 3 competition was a tough cookie for our team to crack. After our 12 qualifying matches (7-5-0) our team was ranked 25th and was second pick for the 8th alliance. With this we played with our sister team, 8522 Springport Robotics and team 8300 the Titan Robotics. This lasted until we were sadly taken out in the Semi-finals against the 5th alliance. After the game we had a talk about our season and about the problems we faced. Now we are working hard and ready to improve and adapt in our next Qualifier. On a positive note, we were honored to have been awarded the Engineering Inspiration award!
