15-May-2010 at Montgomery High School in Skillman, NJ. This is our third year at Monty Madness (see DEWBOT IV and V's competitions). Check out the event website.
Sab-BOT-age made a strong showing against a very competitive field, finishing 10th seed out of 42 teams.
See Siri Maley's Scouting Database.
We were the first selection of team 365 (MOE), captain of the 6th alliance. Team 2344 (Saunders Droid Fatory) completed our alliance. Alas, we were defeated in the quarterfinals by the 4th alliance (103, 341 and 75).
A tough competition. We played well.
