Catch Us in Houston! We're so excited to announce that we will be traveling to Houston to compete at Nationals! Gatorbotics placed 2nd overall at the Utah Regional Competition, which is the first time we've made it to finals in Gatorbotics history. Just last weekend, the Gatorbotics team traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to compete in the Utah Regional Competition. Gatorbotics was extremely successful in the preliminary rounds and overcame many challenges to get the robot in working condition. In addition to improving current mechanisms, the team added a climbing mechanism. The robot is now able to gain extra points at the end of the match by climbing onto the level 2 platform! The team was selected as the first pick of the #2 ranked alliance and helped them win elimination matches to reach the finals for the first time since our team was founded in 200 Additionally, the team was awarded a “wildcard” for reaching the finals, which qualifies the team for the Houston Championships! We can't wait to attend Champs, and the team is super excited and proud of all of its hard work this year. The team kept long hours of scouting, watching matches, and working on the robot exciting by making vlogs and tasting delicious food around Salt Lake City. It was a great opportunity for bonding between students and with coaches and mentors. The team received medals from FIRST for all of their hard work and success in Utah and is super excited to get back on the road to travel to Houston. Congratulations to the Gatorbotics students and mentors!
