14 Mar WA Robotics Win At The South Florida Regional
Our WA High School Robotics Competition Team, FRC Team 744, Shark Attack, recently competed in the South Florida Regional Competition at the Broward County Convention Center. The efforts of key mentors and students working many late nights resulted in a robot designed with key defensive and offensive advantages. Two strong teams chose our robot and team in the second round of alliance selection. Shark Attack won the quarterfinals and semifinals and advanced to the finals. The Finals were a hard-fought competition that resulted in a tie at the end of three matches. After two tie-breakers, our alliance had won the South Florida Regional!
Our team shares the winner’s title with our first and second-ranked alliance partners, Team 179 and 180. Shark Attack was the number one defensive robot in this winning alliance. Our WA team drove well and refined their robot in the field. This is our team’s first win at the South Florida Regional! The team is now preparing for their next competition in Orlando. The WA Robotics program is committed to providing opportunities for students to excel in engineering, technology, computer programming, and business. We are proud of our WA Shark Attack team!
