Team 1218 is heading back to Houston for the FIRST Robotics World Championships! It was a nerve-wracking
@firstmidatl District Championship for
@schacademy Robotics… The team was P14 after our up-and-down qualification matches, going 7-5 despite some ongoing technical issues with the ‘bot. We were the first pick of Alliance 8, captained by
@mercury1089 and joined by
@frc2590 (Nemesis), falling to an incredibly strong Alliance 1 (752-311 😳) and then Alliance 4. 1218 also won the Team Sustainability Award and, most importantly, a Woodie Flowers Finalist Award and banner (outstanding mentorship) for coach Eileen Larkin!
@DrexelEngr and
@drexelrobots also showed out, bringing our Hubo humanoid on the road, where he met a little friend, Sprout! 😂 And a special shout out to
@tigerrobotics10979 , mentored by Drexel engineering students, a rookie team that also qualified for Worlds!
It’s been another fantastic FIRST season, and I’m looking forward to one last competition in Houston. It’s always an incredible experience… hope to see you there! #firstroboticscompetition
