Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;  do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Week 1 saw Team 1731 in action at Ashland VA. From match 1 through the final qualification - Team 1731 was in first place and never relinquished.

​

We picked two outstanding partners to join us for our playoff alliance and went undefeated securing the Blue Banner for the event.

​

We also received an award from the judges for our autonomous routine - those 15 seconds at the start of the match where the robot follows pre-programmed instructions without the assistance of the drivers. We consistently shot 5 goals in autonomous.

Week 6 Recap - CHS District Championship

Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA - April 4-6, 2024

Team 1731 came into the District Championship ranked first in the District (DC, Maryland, Virginia). 54 of the best teams in the district gathered to show off the robots their teams have created, visit with other teams, and enjoy championship robotics. The competition runs high at the Championship as teams vie for a position at the World Championship in Houston. 

We ended the qualifying rounds in second place with 10 wins and 2 losses. The first-place team picked us to form an alliance. After adding a great third team we went into a double-elimination tournament-style play. 

​

It was hard-fought with one match decided by 2 points, but our alliance emerged undefeated and Team 1731 picked up its third blue banner for the season - a new milestone.

​

We received our third award from the judges for our autonomous routine - those 15 seconds at the start of the match where the robot follows pre-programmed instructions without the assistance of the drivers. This was also a new milestone - winning an award for the same feature in three different events.

World Championship - Houston Recap

George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, TX - April 18 - 20

Houston is always an exciting time and this was one of the best. 600 teams are divided into 8 divisions. We had a hard-fought time in our division, at times ranked first or second before finally ranking at 6th out of 75 teams. We were able to put our fire power on full-display. We were an alliance captain and picked 3 solid teams for our alliance. While we did not advance out of the semi-finals, it was a privilege and an honor to compete on the world stage.
