Team DAVE was thrilled to compete at the University of Waterloo District Event in our hometown of Waterloo last week. At the event, we played alongside WWFIRST teams during qualification and elimination matches.
On the first day, DAVE played in practice matches before Opening Ceremonies, later competing in eight qualification matches throughout the day. Students on DAVE presented the Impact Award in the morning, but we were unable to win. Although we started by losing our first qualification match, we rebounded and won the next seven matches, ending the day with a win-loss record of 7-1.
DAVE ended qualification matches the next day ranked 1st with a win-loss record of 10-2. We picked FRC Team 4678: CyberCavs (a fellow WWFIRST team), and FRC Team 6875: Amazon Warriors – Build a Dream Robotics to be in our alliance. Our alliance was undefeated during elimination matches, but we lost the Finals matches to Alliance 2. Congratulations to FRC Teams 4476, 5024 and 9659 for winning the Waterloo District Event!
DAVE was recognized for our achievements in the community and as a successful robotics team, winning the Judges Award for the first time. Thank you to all of our supporters who visited us at the event and cheered on the team!
We will be competing at the Ontario District Provincial Championship from April 4-6 at the International Centre in Mississauga. DAVE looks forward to competing against the top teams in Ontario for the chance to become District Champions!
