(Ramsey, NJ – March 7) – The Varsity Ironmen Robotics Team won a finalist alliance (second place) trophy at the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) District Event at Hatboro-Horsham High School over this past weekend. Thirty- four teams participated.
Although the team finished the qualification rounds in a disappointing 20th place due to a balky robot arm, they were chosen to be a part of the fifth alliance based upon their mobility, to complement a robot that had a good arm but poor mobility. This combination worked out fabulously, and the alliance made it to the playoff finals before losing the rubber match of a best-of-three series.
The FIRST Midatlantic District is made up of more than 125 teams in New Jersey, Delaware, and Eastern Pennsylvania. FRC robots can weigh up to 125 pounds.
Congratulations, Ironmen, for a job well done!
