On the weekend of feb 2019 newsletter top March 1st, the AdamBots attended their first district event at Kettering University. Along with 40 other teams, we showcased our robot, named Valentina, for the first time at the Week 1 event. After 12 qualification matches, we ended with a record of 7-5-0, leaving us ranked 12th when alliance selection began. We were chosen by the 6th alliance captain, Team 7491, and were joined by Team 6548 to enter the playoffs. After a quarterfinal tiebreaker and two semifinal victories, we made it into the finals, where we played against the 1st ranked alliance. With the support of the 75 attending AdamBots in the stands, our drive team successfully brought us to the end of the event as Finalists.

However, our success was not limited to our robot. The Business Planning team brought us the Entrepreneurship Award, which is awarded based on a team’s business plan.

In 2 weeks, we will be attending the Kingsford District Event in the Upper Peninsula from March 15-16. We hope to see you there!
