Our team had the wonderful opportunity of competing yesterday at the Indy South Qualifying Tournament. Our robot worked near our expectations, and we were able to cap the ball every single qualifying match. Our team was selected to join the 2nd seeded alliance, and we ended up winning the eliminations round! In addition to that, our team was awarded the Inspire Award, propelling our team to state! Looking forward, it is our goal to continue to improve our robot's performance and our team's cohesive identity in order to further our success this season!
