DEWBOT XII Build
Oh my lordy, a really interesting game which I don't need to convince anyone to like! Oh my lordy, swerve is not a viable drive-train for this game. Guess we'll just need to do something different.
But different is what we do. It's what we are. At least we think so. Time to put that to the test!

Official Events
- Kick-off - 9-January-2016
- At Hatboro-Horsham High School.
- Hatboro-Horsham - 4-6 March-2016
- DEWBOT XII's first qualifier. Not our finest hour. We seeded 27th in a field of 37 with a (4-8-0) record. That said, we were the 6th Alliance Captain's (4454 - Artisan Rockets) 1st pick and we made it to the Semifinals. 1640 also received the Innovation in Control Award and 36 MAR Qualifying points.
- Dean's List nominee Meghana advances to the MAR Championship!
- Seneca - 18-20 March-2016
- Big improvement over Hatboro. Finished qualifications as 3rd seed and went on to captain the 2nd Alliance comprising ourselves, 4573 (Rambotics) and 6203 (Titanium Knights). Finished as Finalists, losing the rubber match. Picked up the Industrial Design Award and 60 MAR qualifying points.
- Westtown - 1-3 April-2016
- Team 1640 seeded 3rd in a field of 37 teams with a (10-2-0) record during qualification matches. We gratefully accepted 225’s (TechFire) invitation to join them in the 1st alliance, which was completed by 1391 (Metal Moose). Together, we went on to become Westtown CHAMPIONS, defeating the 6th alliance in the 2nd final match through a tie-breaker.
- 1640 received the Quality Award.
- The Westtown event was co-hosted by teams 1391 (based at the Westtown School) and 1640 and was a huge success. This was the first time the two teams had worked together to host a robotics tournament. According to Clem McKown, the Volunteer Coordinator for the event: “The Westtown School provides a wonderful venue for a robotics competition, while neighboring team 1640 has a much larger volunteer base of students, mentors and parents as well as experience in hosting FLL competitions. It was natural for us to team up to host a tournament. Together, we put on a great event.”
