Official Events
- FMA District Seneca Event - 8-10 March-2024
- Team 1640 received the Innovation in Control Award.
- We earned 54 District Points.
- FMA District Bensalem Event - 22-24 March-2024
- This week 4 Event (22-24 March-2024) held at Bensalem High School, Bensalem PA was FRC team 1640's (Sab-BOT-age) second 2024 competition. 35 teams participated. In 2024, FIRST Mid-Atlantic increased the number of events from 7 to 8, with the consequence of events generally having fewer teams participating. The compression of the District competition season from 5 to 4 weeks results in 2 FMA District events each weekend.
- Sab-BOT-age finished qualification matches with a (8-4-0) record ranked #11. During alliance selection, FRC team 5401 (Fightin' Robotic Owls - Bensalem High School, the event host) invited 1640 to join the 5th alliance. Team 4575 (Gemini) completed the 5th alliance. Alas, the 5th alliance did not survive quarterfinals.
- 1640 did receive the District Impact Award (the Award formerly known as Chairmans)! This is FIRST's highest award and definitely a really big deal.
- One Alumn Saboteur (Snarr) served as event volunteer at Bensalem.
- The team earned 37 district points at Bensalem. We have 91 district points going into the District Championship. 1640 is currently ranked 23rd in FMA out of a field of 127 teams.
- FMA District Championship - 3-6 April-2024
