Rolling through Philly

Posted Saturday, April 5 2008 by Josh

With a complete 360, the whirlwind of Philadelphia took us by surprise. Unlike the teams 3-9 record at FLR, Philly was different. We placed 10-1 in the qualification matches, undefeated all weekend except the last match. We ended up being the 3rd ranked alliance and chose 316 and 484 to join us. Unfortunately, 484 broke down and needed to be replaced by surrogate team number 1640. We had some programming issues as well and Theo had to drive a match without preset controls! We went 1-2 in the quarterfinals, losing to the rank 6 team. However, our camouflage earned us the Imagery Award and a special thanks to Cynette, Steve, and Crystal (our safety captains) who helped us win the UL Safety Award as well! Way to go team!

1511 Inspiration at Finger Lakes

Posted Saturday, March 8 2008 by Josh

1511 has returned from the Finger Lakes Regional! Maybe not the greatest robot record we would have liked with 3-9. But we still did an excellent job and put up a great fight! We even made it to the quarterfinals with teams 65 and 1450! But what was really the highlight of the weekend was the Engineering Inspiration Award we took home! This award celebrates outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering within a team’s school and community. This is the second-highest award a team can recieve! Great Job 1511!

1511 Returns from Atlanta!!

Posted Tuesday, April 17 2007 by Kim

The team had a great time at the Championship in Atlanta Georgia! With over 350 FRC teams, and many FVC & FLL teams, there were many robots to see! Constant cheers of "I believe that Robots Rock" "Good Morning" and "1-5-1-1" could be heard whereever the team went. Mark, Jackie & Theo did an amazing job presenting the Chairmans Award, and were excited for team 365 MOE who won Chairmans at Championships! What great role models! The Robot & driveteam seeded 8th out of 86 teams in the Newton Division, and put up a great fight in the quarterfinals! Our scouts were behind us the whole way, giving us TONS of data to create some great strategies! The team is excited to return home with smiles on their faces & looks forward to a great summer!
