FTC Broadalbin Perth Qualifier

The Inspire Award Winners, The BHBL Mecha Spartans!

Broadalbin, NY — What an incredible day the Mecha Spartans had at the Broadalbin-Perth High School Qualifier event. Throughout the day, our robot performed amazingly, leading to our team finishing 6th in the qualifying tournament, which led to the the MechaSpartans being picked as the alliance partner for the #1 ranked team of the day; Hazmatrix. Our alliance one the semi-finals matches, and moved on to the finals, where we eventually lost, finishing as the second place alliance overall for the day. During the award ceremony, we placed second for the Control Award (award for excellence in programming), and third for the Think award (awarded for our design process translated through our engineering portfolio). Finally, and most important, we were awarded First Place Inspire Award, which is awarded to the team that excels in all areas of FIRST, and is the top award given at each event. By winning the Inspire award, we have qualified for the State Championship at Mohawk Valley Community College, which will take place on March 3rd!!
