This past weekend the CW Tech Robotarians, FRC team #2959, competed in their second event of the season at Grand Valley State University. The team put a lot of hard work into improving the robot and award presentations since the St Joseph event. The effort paid off with significantly improved robot performance and smoother presentations.
The team ended in 19th place after qualifications and was selected by the number 5 alliance to compete in eliminations. The alliance had a strong potential to win the event, but some robot problems hampered the performance. The alliance was eliminated after their first-round win.
With the team's competition season ended, they will now turn to off-season activities, including outreach to spread the word about team 2959 and FIRST throughout all of their communities. Robotarians will also be working on Robot analysis and testing for better future performance, participating in off-season competitions, recruiting new members, and training (CAD, programming, wiring, etc.).
