So, great news FIRST: We won the prestigious Chairman's Award (for the third time in a row)! What does this mean? This means that we are able to go to the World Championships in St. Louis in late April!
Joebot worked nicely and smoothly, we ended up ninth, and then became seventh alliance captain. Our alliance consisted of us, Team 230, and Team 1559! We lost our first match, won with a triple-bot balance on the second, and lost the third.
Aside from Chairman's Award, we were also awarded the Website Award!
Get some rest team, because we'll be right back to work preparing for Championships! We will have a short meeting on Tuesday.
Go team 694!

Stuypulse would like to invite all teams who are coming to the NYC regional to our annual team social this Thursday, March 15th.
