This year, our teams hosted a scrimmage and attended two qualifiers! 20409 won the Innovate and Connect awards, and 13620 won the Motivate and Inspire Awards, qualifying for States. At the Massachusetts States competition, 13630 won the Spirit Award.
The competition theme for the 2022-2023 season was FIRST Energize. To score points, our robots had to collect cones and place them on junctions of various heights. They also had to travel to certain areas of the field. Watch this video to learn more about FIRST Tech Challenge’s game for this year, PowerPlay:
This year, we were finally able to host our own qualifier, the Bots’n Tea Party, at Winsor, a goal we’ve been hoping to accomplish for many years. Since we held it so early in the season and many teams did not have fully-built robots, we had a Mario Kart race in addition to some regular matches. It was a great opportunity to see other teams and engage with the FIRST community; we hope to host another scrimmage in the future!
