UNh, Week 4

​This past weekend, Team 4909 participated in the Week 4 UNH competition. We fought through 12 qualification matches, earning us the 3rd alliance captain. 

​Throughout the qual matches, we gave it our all and fought our way through, earning us an 8-win and 4-lose record. We faced many challenges throughout these matches but were able to adapt quickly and end up as the 5th seed.

​Moving into alliance selection, we were honored to captain the 3rd alliance. Our first pick was Team 6324, The Blue Devils, and Team 1922, Oz-Ram. With these teams at our side, we were able to fight our way into the quarter-finals. We fought hard with our alliance members, giving our best to win. But ultimately fell short. 

​Beyond matches, we also had three sets of pit judges come visit us. They took a great interest in various aspects of our outreach, safety, engineering process, and of course our robot. A major highlight of our pit was a fully functional R2D2, built by our mentors. This impressive droid is connected to a controller allowing the robot to move freely, featuring full 360-degree head movement, and sounds. R2D2 was a huge hit, drawing the attention of many attendees, especially children, who loved stopping by to interact with him.

​Overall, our time at UNH was an incredible experience filled with teamwork, perseverance, and excitement. We are proud of our performance and look forward to our next competition, UVM!
