It was a whirlwind in St Louis on April 26-28. Both the weather and the robotics competition.

Looking for 14

At the Greater Toronto West Robotics competition at the Hershey Centre this past weekend team 2056 finished seventh with a record of 8 and 2 at the end of the qualifying rounds.  

The team picked MMRambotics, team 2200 from Burlington and Retro-Rams, team 4001 from Toronto. The alliance won the quarter finals with an upset, 2 games straight.  It took three games to win the semi-finals also an upset.  The finals put us straight up against our friends from Governor Simcoe team 1114.   

With a record of 9 and 2, team 2056 was ranked 4th overall at the Waterloo Regional this past weekend.  Picked by 1114 from Governor Simcoe St Catharines and joined by team 4372 from RBDG School in Cambridge, the alliance went on to win each best of three quarter finals, semi finals and finals.  The alliance scored a tremendous number of points reaching 105 in one match alone.  The win increases the teams regional wins to 13, a world record that seems like it will never be broken.
