2015 Battle of the Bay
Today was Morpheus' debut as an FRC team. We brought our pre-rookie robot, Totenado, to compete at Team 319's Battle of the Bay in Alton, New Hampshire. During the qualification matches, we ran into a few issues with our robot releasing stacks onto the scoring platform. After observing what was happening, we quickly solved the problem. By the end of qualifications, we were placing at least one five-stack with can in each match and grabbing a can from the Step in Teleop. During Alliance Selection, we were picked by Team 125 (Nutrons) to join Alliance 4. Our random pick selected Team 58 (Riot Crew) to join our alliance. In the quarterfinals, our alliance scored two five-stacks in each match and advanced to the semifinals. Unfortunately, our drive base got stuck in the first semifinal match, and our stack fell over in the second semifinal match. Knowing that we would not advance to the finals, our alliance decided to have fun in our third match. Team 125 tried to make a ten-stack and we decided to make two solo five-stacks. Congratulations to the winners, Team 1519 (Mechanical Mayhem), Team 2648 (Infinite Loop), and Team 213 (The Dirty Birds)! During the award ceremony, we were thrilled to be presented with the Just Because Award! Morpheus had a fantastic time at our first Battle of the Bay! We can't wait to compete in the 2016 FIRST Stronghold challenge! See everyone at Kickoff!
