Last Saturday was our first official First competition at Western High School, and as you can see, it was a great day for our team and our robot. We competed in 6 matches throughout the day and came out on top in all of them, to no lack of challenge from the opposing alliances. One matches opponent would be the next matches partner, so in the end we made many new friends and shared many ideas about strengths, weaknesses, and ways to improve. The competition also put Sonic into the firing line for the first time, and while he accomplished his goal, we discovered many flaws in the heat of battle that we can now improve before our next match, such as dropping rings and missing autonomous scores. By earning first place, we hope this match will be the trend for the remaining season, not only in our teams performance but in our enjoyment of the event and the friends we made there.
