We participated in the Chesapeake DC 1 Qualification Tournament yesterday and we had a blast! We won 4 out of the 5 games we played, and ended up 6th in the ranking! We didn’t qualify, but things turned out even more interesting when we were the first pick of one of the winning teams for the elimination rounds! That means a lot to us as it demonstrates that even thought we didn’t qualify, our team and the robot was noticed by other teams!

This were our first in-person games and we surpassed our own expectations! Our team got a lot of experience from this trip. We learned new things, and got a lot of ideas! Next season we will come better prepared and with more energy!

We played in two of the elimination rounds. Ultimately our alliance didn’t win and we didn’t qualify. However, we were surprised with the Judges Choice Award for the excepcional outreach work made by the team in social media, radio, and visits to other schools to show our robot and promote the FIRST program.
