Team 6978
Thank you for all your support of our team! Without your sponsorship, this build season would not be possible. Here is what we have been working on over the past week.
Day One
On the first day, our drive team unloaded the robot and set up our pit. They also took the opportunity for some last-minute practice, refining their driving skills alongside other teams.
Day Three
Our scouting team continued gathering crucial data to assist our alliance captain in selecting the third alliance member for the playoffs. Throughout the day, our team performed exceptionally, earning the highest points for our alliances. When playoffs began, we were selected for the sixth alliance. We collaborated well with our alliance partners, but in a hard-fought match, our journey ended with a narrow two-point loss.
Day Two
Qualifying matches kicked off on day two, and our drive team delivered an impressive performance! Since the Niagara College competition, we have made significant improvements—enhancing speed and accuracy and reducing weight. These refinements paid off, allowing us to contribute more points to our alliances. As a result, we even secured a victory against the team that would ultimately finish second in the competition.
Looking Ahead - Provincials!
Thanks to our strong performance, we are excited to announce that we are heading to the Provincial Championships this week! Our team is eager to build on our success, refine our strategy, and compete against some of the best teams in the province. Stay tuned for updates as we take on this exciting challenge!
