DEWBOT VIII FRC Championship
FRC Team 1640 (team Sab-BOT-age) competed for its second time (and 2nd consecutive year) in FRC's Championship, held in the Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis MO. 27 students, mentors and family members made the trip.
Team 1640 did well, with a 6-2-1 qualification record to place 13th out of the 100 teams in Newton division. 402 FRC teams were present altogether. We were not selected for an eliminations alliance.
Pit Captain Molly was interviewed by Popular Mechanics during the competition. Popular Mechanics included DEWBOT VIII in their short list (10) of All-Star Robots.
Special appreciation and congratulation to Michael Rizzo, who had the rare distiction of serving as Head Referee on Archimedes Field. We are all proud of you!
