Hanging a Tube If there’s one word to describe this past weekend its definitely “wow.” The AdamBots finished as finalists at arguably the hardest, most competitive event in FIRST.

We were fortunate to have a more favorable qualification schedule and took advantage of it.

We scored over 100pts five times and scored a high of 140pts in qualification match #143.

Troy District Recap

Written by Ryan Cesiel on April 6, 2011

The AdamBots had yet another successful competition this past weekend at the Troy District at Troy Athens High School. Despite extremely tough competition from some of the best teams in Michigan, we were semifinalists and recipients of both the Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Entrepreneurship Award and the Best Website Award for the third straight time.

On Friday, our primary driver, Alex Shultz, was at a welding competition and both Emily Bolewitz and Tanay Patel drove and helped maintain an excellent qualification match record. We finished Friday with 7 match wins and only 2 losses.

Congratulations to Steven Ploog, Jason Merlo, Ben Bray and their mentors Mrs. Keithly, and Mr. Shultz… Read More
