Held at Salem Community College in Carney's Point, NJ and hosted by teams 365 (Miracle Workerz) and 316 (LuNaTeCs), Sab-BOT-age has participated every year starting 2007. This has been a good competition to us. We were Finalists in 2008 (with a terrible robot) and 5-time winners in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016.
FRC 1640's (Sab-BOT-age's) competition season has started up again (did it ever really end?) with Duel on the Delaware. We had a lot of new students doing new jobs and this worked out very well. We finished qualification matches as 5th seed (of 30 teams) and led the 5th alliance (there's no in-picking at Duel). Our thanks to alliance partners 6226 (Blue Devils) and 341 (Miss Daisy). We were, alas, eliminated in quarterfinals.
