Crazy final day of NC District Competition! We found the issue with a few of our batteries that was causing power decrease in the course of our match. We also replaced a damaged piece from yesterday. We quickly fixed the problems and the robot was perfect for today. Our match today was so fun with a high score of 510! We finished the day in the middle of the pack however and did not get chosen for finals. Bummer! We were, however, the 4th backup robot and usually backups never get pulled up- but this game is very aggressive! The 3 in front of us got called up and we wondered if we might as well.
Kudos to all the frantic repairs by pit crews today! It was crazy! Cameras ripped off, 1/4" aluminum plates bent, all kinda parts destroyed.... usually when a robot comes sailing over the bump right into another robots innards. One of the wildest moments was in playoffs when the number one robot fell completely over when an opponent robot hit them on the bump. Also the number one alliance got a red card, their almost 600 point score went to zero, and the other alliance won, sending them to the lower bracket!
We learned so much, had to fix stuff on the fly, and had to work together to accomplish our goals. We were tough! Go HOTBOTZ!

Day 2 of State Champs is in the books! What a crazy day. First thing off the bat, our main driver contracted food poisoning from the venue and was up half the night struggling with that. We figured she was out for the day and rushed to reconfigure and practice with the team in new positions. The new group made their position shifts and fired it up! They did pretty well in the first match of the day! But our lead driver is a trooper and once she started feeling better, she came on in to drive the rest of the day despite the difficulties. I'm so proud of how flexible, resilient, and effective they have all been - through everything that's happened today.
We have some fun too. Our mascot inspired all the other mascots to come out and play! Thats the way I saw it but who knows how it started, but it turned into mascot showtime. Good times!

The HOTBOTZ made it to State Competition! Woohoo!
Thank you to everyone who supported and helped! We are so excited to be here with all these amazing NC teams. FIRST NC strives for community and they do a great job creating it. We got to go to a team social this evening at the Greensboro Science Center and it was so great to spend that extra time together -with all the other teams- in a relaxed environment. What a huge blessing today has turned out to be! And some of our alumni family came to celebrate with us!
Thank you again!!
