FIRST Robotics Competition® Team 314 qualifies for the Michigan FRC State Championship

  • Overall Rank:  2nd in the District event
  • Was in the 1st – 3rd ranking positions all weekend mainly 1st and 2nd
  • Was selected by the 1st Alliance Captain to be a partner which was the Team 2337, Grand Blanc Enginerds
  • Played in the Elimination matches. Went all the way to the finals.
  • We won the Motorola Quality Award. This award celebrates machine robustness in concept and fabrication. The winning team has demonstrated these characteristics in many ways from planning through execution. Building the robot is only part of their success and the judges recognize them as a quality example to others. The following is how the judges worded it for our team ” This team showed forceful robustness in design, build and control with control over the playing “Pit.” They hatched a bot that could shoot venom like a viper with speed and accuracy.”
  • We are also the 2014 Kettering University FIRST® Robotics District Competition Winners. Our Alliance was Team 2337, Grand Blanc Enginerds (Captians) and Team 5081 Lumbernators, Bay City.
  • Because of these efforts we are currently in 5th place out of about 150 teams that played in the State of Michigan with 69 points earned towards the Michigan FRC State Championship.

Our next competitions are the following:

March 28 – 29, 2014   Livonia District Competition. (Churchill High School)
