“Arching” Into the World Championship

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Will

 

This year, as you probably already know, the World Championship took place in St. Louis, Missouri. After visiting the St. Louis zoo on Wednesday, a few team members went to the venue to set up our pit and check out the huge place. On Thursday, the matches started without delay! The Championship is much different than your everyday Regional, however. The Matches are split into four fields (we were placed in Division “Galileo”), and the winners of each division advance on to the Finals Division named “Einstein”.  After going through all the qualification matches, Team 48 placed in the top 8 in our division! This is a first for our team and will go down in history!

 

The teams we pick for our alliances determine our fate for the upcoming matches. The Scouting Team did a great job at picking the best teams that our robot works best with! Our team, in the end, paired up with the teams 1323 and 1732. We made it to the Semi-Finals of our division, but eventually lost by a few points to a very tough alliance. This was the farthest we’ve ever LED an alliance through the elimination rounds at the Championship as an alliance captain and is a great achievement! Congratulations Team 48 for a great job at the St. Louis World Championship!

Any additional person coming is not covered under the fees and is an additional $16.00.

Safety All-Stars

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Will

The results are finally in! After the endless and much-needed safety quizzes (provided from the loving SLAMM Team) we finally have our safety all-stars! These people got the highest scores on the quizzes and demonstrate excellent safety skills. Congratulations Morgan Kush for getting the second highest score on the Safety Quizzes! And, tying for the highest score, were the dynamic safety duo of Choniece Phillips and Tyler Nimmagada. Congratulations to all three of you on a job “safely” done!

The “Princes” of Queen City

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Will

Way to go Team 48 on winning 2nd place at the Queen City Regional in Cincinnati! This was the toughest and largest regional for our team so far this year. We blew right through the qualification matches, with only 2 losses. At the end of qualification matches we were ranked 4th. After much consideration and help from our well respected scouts, we decided that we wanted to select our friends from Austintown, FIRST Team 3193; Falco Tech and FIRST Team 1038, the Thunderhawks, from Cincinnati. Our bid to be regional champs was hard fought. The quarter and semi-finals each brought us to a third match. The finals pinned us against the tough alliance of the FIRST teams 45, 781, 3940, who, by the way, can balance all three of their robots on the bridge. After a tough match, we ended up losing the first finals round. We needed to win the next round to advance and win the regional. We lost that match by only 2 points! The Queen City Regional was very competitive, but also, a lot of fun. If you would like to see this match or any other matches, go to our youtube channel and see how competitive the QCR really was.

On top of taking home the Regional Finalist Award, we also won the Underwriters Laboratories Industrial Safety Award. We demonstrated that we know safety inside and out. This award takes into consideration how well we promote safety at the competition, but also how well we promote safety at home.

The next venue that Team 48 will be traveling to is in St.Louis for the FIRST Championship! Teams will come near and far for this competition, so this will be the time to show what our team is made of! Stay Tuned for further updates.

Shout-out to Our Friends From Queen City

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Will

Special thanks from Delphi E.L.I.T.E. to Team 144 for helping us out in a tight spot. After the matches on Friday, our bus broke down, unable to pick us up. The whole team was sitting outside waiting when the generous captain of team 1772 comes and asks if we needed help. His team kindly lets us use their bus to get back to our hotel safe and sound! Without them, we would be stuck at the venue for who knows how long! Thank you again Team 144!
