Final post on Illinois FTC State Championship.

No award for us this year, we still have yet to crack the mystery of the judges!

When all the points were tabulated we ended the tournament as the 15th ranked team. Only the top 7 teams advance to the World Championships.

[Robo Knights (21333) @21333Robo]

That's a wrap on the playoffs!

The RoboKnights entered as the number 4 alliance.

We battled hard, winning 3 playoff matches and losing 2, ending up in 3rd place!

[Robo Knights (21333) @21333Robo]

Alliance Selection!

We were selected by Team 30686 - Electrolights to join them on the 4th alliance and we graciously accepted!

The RoboKnights have made it to the playoffs!

We kick things of in 30 minutes with the 4/5 alliance match!

[Robo Knights (21333) @21333Robo]

Lunch break was what we needed!

The team bounced back, winning match 6, against the then number 2 team and also match 7!

We end the qualification round 4-3-0 with 22 ranking points. Our 3.14 average ranking points are good enough for the 8th seed.

Time for alliance selection.

[Robo Knights (21333) @21333Robo]

Lunch break update. After a strong start, we hit a wall. Lost match 3 because of penalties. Lost match 4 because our robot malfunctioned. Lost match 5 because we faced off against the number 1 seed who's robot is amazing.

We are sitting at 12th after the first 5 matches.

[Robo Knights (21333) @21333Robo]

Update after 2 qualification matches.

We are 2-0-0 and earned a total of 9 ranking points. The 4.5 ranking point average is good enough for a second place ranking, for the time being!

5 more matches to go, but we are off to a great start!

[Robo Knights (21333) @21333Robo]
