Competition Week 6

We had nice weather out here! For one day... Then it rained...

Rank 8 in PNW in terms of District Points. Yep, that seems right. Pretty happy with that. Prior to District Championships in Tacoma, we calculated the minimum district points needed would be around 125-130, and felt confident we could rank in the top 15, get picked up by a solid alliance, and be recognized with an award for either our robot or business model. In actuality, the  district points cutoff required for World's qualification was 142. Not to worry, we ranked slightly higher than 15th.

Tacoma was another great weekend of robots, friends, mistakes, and achievements. Our 4th consecutive weekend of competition (and coffee), and the outcomes qualifies us for World Championships in another week's time (in which we'll also have coffee).

Competition Week 5

Made some minor updates to the lab. Been waayy too long....

With our 2 district point-scoring events complete, and the 9 district events complete, we have now scraped up enough points to qualify for the PNW District Championships. (Ok, let's be real for a minute here. Last year we played in the Einstein finals, and this year we are scrambling for points to qualify for District Champs? Yeah, we had a long season with limited driving and tuning. It can happen. But for now, this is fine!) We made a few minor updates to the bot this weekend, and got it a lot more time driving under hard defense.
