Last weekend, Team 467 attended our 2nd competition of the year, held on the campus of Western New England University in Springfield, MA.
We had a fantastic event - finishing qualifying matches in 4th place and leading the 3rd Alliance into the elimination round, where we made it to the semifinals before being knocked out. Major kudos to our alliance partners 178 (The 2nd Law Enforcers from Farmington, CT) and 8046 (Lakerbots, from Meredith, NH) for forming such a fantastic New England alliance with us.
The fun wasn’t over though as we went on to win the FIRST Impact Award, described by FIRST as follows: The FIRST Impact Award (formerly the Chairman’s Award) is the most prestigious award at FIRST, it honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the mission of FIRST .
The Impact Award automatically qualifies us to attend the NE FIRST District Championship at the Big E in West Springfield, MA, April 2-5.
