Implementing Advice from the League Tournament | |
Team 7373 had a strong showing overall at the League Tournament. However, each member of the team will continue working to improve each aspect of the team in preparation for the state championship. The team will continue to plan outreach events and connect with STEM professionals in the community. Team 7373 will be revising the linear slide system of the robot to reduce the mechanical difficulties experienced by the team in robot matches. Overall, the team hopes to enter the state championship as a competitive contender with improved outreach, robot design, and engineering documentation.

Team 11364 had a strong performance in both the robot game and judging session at the League Tournament. The team will strive, however, to improve each part of their team, including engineering documentation and community outreach. Moving forward, the mechanical aspects of the robot will not be changed to allow for ample driving practice in preparation for state. | |
