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.”''

{{#ev:youtube|yHQzojxE-_Y|427|right}}The Westtown event is co-hosted by teams 1391 (based at the Westtown School) and 1640. Steve Compton (1391 Head Mentor) serves as Event Coordinator, while [[User:MaiKangWei | Clem McKown]] (1640 Head Mentor) serves as Volunteer Coordinator.  This was our 2<sup>nd</sup> year of co-hosting this event and our experience showed!  This event ran much more smoothly than last year's.
  
Team 1640 seeded 3<sup>rd</sup> in a field of 37 teams with 33 ranking points and a (10-2-0) record during qualification matches.  We gratefully accepted 225’s ([http://www.techfire225.com/ TechFire]) invitation to join them in the 1<sup>st</sup> alliance, which was completed by 1391 ([http://metalmoose.weebly.com/about.html Metal Moose]).  Together, we went on to become Westtown CHAMPIONS, defeating the 6<sup>th</sup> alliance in the 2<sup>nd</sup> final match through a tie-breaker.

This was 1640's first SteamWorks event.  How did we do?  Okay, but not as well as we imagined.  We finished qualifications in 18<sup>th</sup> (of 31) with a 5-7-0 record; not impressive.  We got 4 rotors running in one qual match, though, and we finished as semifinalist and received the Innovation in Control award for our CVT swerve design & control strategy.  We earned 33 points towards MAR qualification.
  
1640 received the Quality Award.

Meghana became a Deans' List semifinalist!
  
Our boulder intake degraded during the course of the Westtown event.  Many of the welds failed and were patched together with plates to keep the intake together and workingIn the final match, the intake drive came apart.  Good thing we were done.  We'll need a new intake for MAR Championships.

Latest revision as of 13:36, 17 September 2017

The Westtown event is co-hosted by teams 1391 (based at the Westtown School) and 1640. Steve Compton (1391 Head Mentor) serves as Event Coordinator, while Clem McKown (1640 Head Mentor) serves as Volunteer Coordinator. This was our 2nd year of co-hosting this event and our experience showed! This event ran much more smoothly than last year's.

This was 1640's first SteamWorks event. How did we do? Okay, but not as well as we imagined. We finished qualifications in 18th (of 31) with a 5-7-0 record; not impressive. We got 4 rotors running in one qual match, though, and we finished as semifinalist and received the Innovation in Control award for our CVT swerve design & control strategy. We earned 33 points towards MAR qualification.

Meghana became a Deans' List semifinalist!

As expected, Fuel scoring played a small role at this event, with the focus on gears/rotors and rope climbing. Our initial rope was inadequate; breaking in two matches. We got good at running gears by the event's end.
