Our championships were located at Houston this year. Ms. Park, Ms. Greysmark, Kim, Sean, Katy, Ms. Ketsdever and Mr. Henn accompanied our team to champs. The lead team members all worked really hard on finishing the final touch ups on the robot in preparation, but none of us were expecting us to do as well as we did.

After the first day of qualifications, we finished ranked 18th (and were 6th at one point!!!)!!! We realized we had a chance to be in one of the alliance teams! We were super excited, so everyone pitched in where they could. The leads team practiced driving and human player-ing both on the fields and in the hotel. The other team members worked really hard scouting other teams and making a picklist in case we became alliance captains. The second day of qualifications, our deployable intake worked, and we smoothly climbed to level 2, and more than once!!!!! We also did a great job with placing panels and throwing cargo into the cargo ship- even when we were being defended! We ended up ranked 13th at champs! Unfortunately, we were not chosen in the alliance teams.

However, we couldn’t be prouder of the team and our robot! The whole experience was so exciting and enjoyable, and we learned so much. Although not being chosen for an alliance was pretty crushing, it doesn’t come close to matching how we feel about this season ending. This was an amazing team to be a part of, and we are not team 1700 without our seniors: Ella, Reese, and Riona. We want to thank them so incredibly much for this season and for our team’s success. Thank you so much seniors! We truly appreciate all your leadership and commitment towards not only robotics but also to the team members. We would also like to thank our mentors: Chris, Kley, Katy, Kim, and Sean for all the time and effort they put into our team and our robot; we couldn’t have done it without them.
