District competition at Kettering University

Our first competition of the season was at Kettering University from March 10-12th.  We came out strong and ended up in 5th after all qualifying matches.  3rd seed alliance captains.
Big thanks to our alliance partners - Team 4362 Gems and Team 6073 The Cav-Bots.

Sadly, we lost in the quarter finals, but it was a great start to the season!  This gave us ideas on what to improve with our robot as well as a starting experience for our rookie driver and operator. 
We were very excited to win the Excellence in Engineering Award sponsored by Delphi for our robot!!
We were honored to win the award that celebrates an elegant and advantageous machine feature.
