Our team competed at the 2-day Battle at the Border off-season FIRST Robotics Competition hosted by Teams 1538 – The Holy Cows , 2485 – W.A.R. Lords and 9452 – LHS Steel Stingers. Overall we were very happy to place 13th out of 34 robots from 27 different teams based out of San Diego and Orange Counties. Though we initially missed out on making it into the 8 playoff alliances, we were called upon midway through the playoffs when Team 1622 – Team Spyder had a broken intake. Though our new alliance with @3128aluminumnarwhals and @team_5137 did not make it any further, it was great opportunity to compete under the stress of a playoff match. It was great to have many of our new team members take part as well to see what to expect for this coming season.
