2016 NE District - WPI Event

written by Team Member on 2016-03-15

This was the first competition for our team and we were delighted to see that our robot and game play was competitive with the other teams participating at WPI. Morpheus was ranked 5 after the qualification rounds and we won the Highest Rookie Seed award for this accomplishment. We also won the Rookie All Star award. We were the first pick of the 2nd seeded team 126, Gael Force, and we gladly accepted. The third member of the alliance was team 2370, iBots. Our alliance made it to the semi-finals and was eliminated by the eventual winning alliance lead by team 839, Rosie Robotics. The matches can be seen here: New England District - WPI Event. Our favorite match was the third semifinal match where our alliance put up a competitive performance even though our captain's robot died with 83 seconds remaining in the game: Semifinal 2-3.
