So much to talk about!
We competed at the Greater Pittsburgh Regional this past weekend and proudly took home the Judges Award! We were seeded 10th at the end of qualification matches and captained the 8th alliance in quarterfinal competition. The Greater Pittsburgh Regional is our home regional, so we were so excited and proud to compete at the top level on our home turf. Our team played hard, and handed our friends the Hawaiian Kids (Team 359) their only loss during finals competition. We took a ton of great pictures this weekend, so please check out the gallery to see our team in action. We were also featured in the Tribune Review this weekend! http://triblive.com/local/westmoreland/12006207-74/robotics-teams-from-western-pennsylvania-nationwide-add-human-element-to-mechanized-battles
It was a pleasure to see and play with so many of our friends on the Steel City Robotics Alliance during the Pittsburgh Regional and we wish everyone the best of luck during the rest of the season!
As part of our work in Pittsburgh, we are also starting the FIRST Lettering Initiative to help other teams achieve varsity lettering status at their school. Watch this space for more information, and hit our contact link or send us an email at first.team1708@gmail.com to get involved!
