This weekend, the AdamBots had their penultimate 2018 competition, the Bloomfield Girls Robotics Competition! This event features all-girl drive teams and scholarship opportunities for female students.

After a quick learning curve, our girls showed what they can do and even perfected our autonomous routine. Ranked 26th, we were selected for the 5th alliance of 8 for the elimination rounds. Our partners 548, 1504, and 830 showed their excellence at scoring on the switch and vault as we focused on loading the scale. Our quarterfinal matchup was against our sister team, the Stoney Creek Cyber Cats, on the 4th alliance. Despite an early loss, we managed to pull off the upset and win the series, moving onto the semifinals. We then won a match against the 1st alliance! Although we did not make it to the finals, we’re excited to have made it as far as we did and performed on such a high level.

This event marks the end of the 2018 FIRST season. This season, our robot Rosalina won two competitions and six trophies, ranking 32nd of 506 teams in the state!

Our last competition of 2018 is the OCCRA Championship at Walled Lake Western this Saturday, where we hope to win our sixth county championship. We hope to see you there!
