Metric & Imperial

Metric & Imperial

We named our sixth robot after the decimalized system of measurement we use in Europe. So, our robot's name is "Metric". It is only fitting that we name our second robot after the decimalized system of measurement that is used in America. So, our second robot is named "Imperial". For the FIRST Robotics Competition game "FIRST POWERUP" we went with our robot "Metric" to the Palmetto Regional in Myrtle Beach, North Carolina, and to the Orlando Regional in Orlando, Florida. During the Palmetto Regional, we managed to get into the quarter-finals but weren't able to defeat the boss. Above all expectations, we were awarded the highest award you could win in the competition. The Chairman's award. We went completely crazy after hearing that we were awarded theĀ Chairman's award. This also meant that we were qualified for the FIRST Championship in Detroit, Michigan. This made us even more enthusiastic about the Orlando Regional. Because we solved and update all changes during the Palmetto Regional we could practice many times. In the Orlando Regional we were once again able to end up in the finals, thanks to our alliance partners Team 179 - Children of the Swamp and Team 3653 - BOTCATS. We battled hard and were able to defeat the boss. So, we are for the second year in a row the Orlando Regional Champions. That was not everything, we even won theĀ Gracious Professionalism Award sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.
