Team Dave competed at the Waterloo Regional from March 31st to April 2nd, at the Physical Activities Complex of the University of Waterloo. Despite not winning the event, the team brushed up on scouting, driving, and much more in preparation for the FRC World Championships in St. Louis. We were fortunate enough to win the industrial Design award sponsored by General Motors for the second time this season. We also picked up our second blue banner of the season when our lead mentor, Daniel Delattre, won the Woodie Flowers Award for excellence in mentoring.
Team Dave finished third in qualifications, with a record of 9-4-0 and 40 ranking points. With our first pick, we selected our new friends from Texas, FRC Team 148, The Robowranglers. With our second pick, Team Dave selected FRC Team 5032, Falcons, from Mississauga Ontario.
Team Dave breezed through our quarterfinals matches, which featured another local team, FRC team 2702 from Eastwood Collegiate Institute in Kitchener. However, we lost in three hard-fought semifinal matches against a tough alliance of FRC Teams 1241 Theory6, 610 Crescent Robotics, and 3560 Chingbotics, who went on to win the regional.
We are currently preparing for Worlds, which is coming up on April 27th to 30th.
